While Invoke Capital just today (14 September) formally announced its investment
in Luminance, the investment was referred to at the start of 2016 by Business Weekly.
For example, flipping to other images and then returning back to the original image often results in a change
in Luminance.
These detectors compare changes
in luminance between two neighbouring photoreceptor units, or facets, in the fruit fly's eye for every point in the visual space.
It is incapable of applying the physics of color subtraction, partly because color perception evolved much later in primates and did not get wired in adequately and partly because
in the luminance domain color overlap is much less common in the natural world than transparency and translucency are.
The peculiar stepwise arrangement of edges — the variation
in luminance and contrast — in each subregion of the image, combined with the fact that even when you fixate steadily your eyes are making ever so tiny movements, may be critical for artificially activating motion detectors.
These retinal and early cortical processes provide an underlying mechanism for lightness constancy — our visual system is less sensitive to gradual changes
in luminance than it is to sudden local contrasts, and uniform regions are «filled in».
Not exact matches
It is possible that the «laws» of perception we have explored so far evolved primarily to deal with shadows and to distinguish them from «real» objects, which would also produce
luminance differences
in the visual scene as a result of differences
in reflectance (for instance, a zebra's stripes or a white cat standing on a black surface).
If the tree shadow falls on a sidewalk and darker grass (e, on preceding page), the manner
in which the magnitude and sign of
luminance vary along the shadow's boundary would be identical on both sides of the boundary, the shadow side and the light side.
What we do know is that the odd arrangements of
luminance - based edges must somehow «artificially» activate motion - detecting neurons
in the visual pathways.
An achromatic version (b) works equally well so long as it preserves the
luminance profile of the colored version (
in other words, as long as the relative reflected
luminance of the different patches remains the same).
Those
luminance relations, which we use to make sense of the image, are apparent
in a grayscale version of the painting (right).
It is possible that the «laws» of perception we have explored so far evolved mainly to deal with shadows and to distinguish them from «real» objects, which would also produce
luminance differences
in the visual scene as a result of differences
in reflectance (for instance, a zebra's stripes or a white cat on a black mat).
Using an imaging procedure with high resolutions, the scientists revealed that a simultaneous counterchange of
luminance of neighboring stimuli creates a sequential activation
in the primary visual cortex.
If the tree shadow falls on a sidewalk and darker grass (e), the manner
in which the magnitude and sign of
luminance vary along the shadow's boundary would be identical on both sides of the boundary, the shadow side and the light side.
In terms of the
luminance that would exist with physical transparency, the inner square is set to be too dark (b), appropriately dark (c) or too light (d).
Scientists at the Ruhr - University Bochum have investigated this phenomenon and show for the first time how simultaneous counterchange of
luminance at the borders between object and background triggers activity waves
in the visual brain.
It turns out that the
luminance changes
in transparency mimic those seen
in shadows.
We have contrived it so that
in g the overlapping region has 25 percent of the background
luminance, as it should be if we were dealing just with
luminance.
In f and g, we have two bars crossing each other, both with
luminance of, say, 50 percent of the background.
We may conclude that even though the visual system can make sophisticated use of such abstract properties as the physics of
luminance ratios and the statistics of segmentation required for transparency, it is «dumb» with regard to other characteristics such as color because of the happenstance manner
in which its hardware (or «squishy - ware») evolved through natural selection — strong evidence against «intelligent design.»
Data was expressed
in table form as mean percentage of SC area possessing a
luminance threshold below a particular level.
To measure
luminance threshold, single and multiunit activity was recorded
in the superior colliculus (SC) at approximately P100 using a modification of a previously described procedure [48].
The Beauty Counter is better for daytime
in my opinion because it is a pretty matte finish without any «
luminance» like the It Cosmetics one.

I'm assuming these are 3 - D considerations to compensate for the loss of
luminance and definition to polarized glasses, but
in 2 - D it draws attention to what isn't there, i.e., money, magnifying the plasticity of a stagebound forest and an assortment of CG creatures.

Hyundai says the 8.0 - inch projected colour image (which displays key driving information including navigation and lane departure alerts directly
in the driver's line of sight), will feature a class - leading
luminance of 10,000 candela per square metre to guarantee daytime visibility.
With a projected image size of eight inches at two metres distance and a
luminance of more than 10,000 candela per square metre, the new head - up display guarantees optimal visibility
in different light conditions.

However, there is a wider selection to choose from
in F1 2017, so it may still be worth having a look to see if there is something that is more preferable between 32 male faces and 8 female faces to choose from with varying preset facial features for your driver's avatar; 28 crash helmets which are customisable via a colour palette for the hue, saturation and
