Different animals have different visual systems and so presumably
have different ways of seeing. How does the way in which we see
depend on the optical, neural and motor components of our visual
systems? Originally published in 1993, the mathematical tools
needed to answer this question are introduced in this book.
Elementary linear algebra is used to describe the transformations
of the stimulus that occur in the formation of the optical, neural
and motor images in the human visual system. The distinctive
feature of the approach is that transformations are specified with
enough rigour for readers to be able to set up their own models and
generate predictions from them. Underlying the approach of this
book is the goal of providing a self-contained source for the
derivation of the basic equations of vision science. An
introductory section on vector and matrix algebra covers the
mathematical techniques which are applied to both sensory and motor
aspects of the visual system, and the intervening steps in the
mathematical arguments are given in full, in order to make the
derivation of the equations easier to follow. A subsidiary goal of
this book is to demonstrate the utility of current desktop computer
packages which make the application of mathematics very easy. All
the numerical results were produced using only a spreadsheet or
mathematics package, and example calculations are included in the
text.
