Return to Seeing, Vision, Computer vision
Sight is one of the five senses and is the aspect of seeing. The eye detects electromagnetic waves with the visible spectrum and the brain interprets these signals and perceives distant reality based upon them. Having two or more eyes allows for depth perception. While humans see in color, many other species do not. Color vision is most restricted at night or in deeper water depths.
Someone who no longer has sight is blind.
- Snippet from Wikipedia: Visual perception
Visual perception is the ability to detect light and use it to form an image of the surrounding environment. Photodetection without image formation is classified as light sensing. In most vertebrates, visual perception can be enabled by photopic vision (daytime vision) or scotopic vision (night vision), with most vertebrates having both. Visual perception detects light (photons) in the visible spectrum reflected by objects in the environment or emitted by light sources. The visible range of light is defined by what is readily perceptible to humans, though the visual perception of non-humans often extends beyond the visual spectrum. The resulting perception is also known as vision, sight, or eyesight (adjectives visual, optical, and ocular, respectively). The various physiological components involved in vision are referred to collectively as the visual system, and are the focus of much research in linguistics, psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and molecular biology, collectively referred to as vision science.
