5.0 out of 5 stars excellent and very educational, September 6, 2000

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Foundations of Vision (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent introduction to human vision. It is aimed at students, or engineers who need to deal with human vision, but it can also be interesting for a motivated audience desiring to learn precisely how human vision works. The presentation is very educational, Wandell not only gives the current knowledge about vision, he also explains the method and evidences which lead to these conclusions. This book is a real pleasure to read, which is not always the case for textbooks.

It covers the early vision (optical properties, sampling, wavelength), the image representation (retina, cortex, pattern sensitivity, multiresolution) and interpretation (shape, motion, color, depth, illusions)

My only concern was that the book puts a lot of emphasis on the notion of linear system, and that this notion is unfortunately explained in a very fuzzy way for my mathematical mind. This comment should be ignored by non mathematician readers.
