Human Vision and Color Perception
Selected Literature References
References are presented in this section that explore human stereovision and the perception of colors. Included are pertinent review articles and books that discuss theoretical and applied aspects of color perception and the complexities of the human visual system. Several of the reference materials also address the topics of color blindness, astigmatism, and other physiological defects of the human visual system.
