A Measurement Method and a Mathematical Model of the Human Vision System's Temporal Peripheral Characteristics

New wide field-of-view content displays require understanding how the human visual system perceives temporal frequency in peripheral areas. Human visual models have proven successful in describing temporal coding in central human vision. However, the question of how the visual regions of the human brain process temporal information in peripheral areas has received much less attention. A significant problem in developing new wide field-of-view content displays is the lack of knowledge about the perception of temporal frequency in peripheral areas by the human visual system. This work creates a new method of measuring thresholds of the visibility of temporal frequency in peripheral areas using different temporal modulation rates. A new mathematical model of the human vision's temporal peripheral characteristics is presented. This new data opens up opportunities for improving the work of video codecs and makes it possible to consider the perception of the temporal parameters by the human visual system in peripheral areas.
