representation. Color, motion, and depth are discussed in some detail and there
are interesting short descriptions of the strange perceptual phenomena associated
with certain neurological abnormalities and of ever popular visual illusions. The
book concludes with a series of useful appendixes describing shift-invariant
linear systems, display calibration, classification, signal estimation, motion-
flow-field calculation, and sampling and aliasing.
Foundations of Vision is unusual in combining competent treatments of the
basic physiology and psychophysics of vision with a lucid presentation of ideas
from computational vision, all with the ultimate goal of understanding high-
level visual perception. It will be of particular value to students because it
presents a broad range of fundamental data and ideas and because it dem-
onstrates how to compute solutions to many standard problems. But Wandell’s
new book is not just for students, it is a well-written, carefully crafted discussion
of the problems of vision and the current state of our understanding. It has much
to offer everyone who wonders how this most remarkable of all senses works.
