Blur adaptation: clinical and refractive considerations.

Clin Exp Optom

Published: January 2020

The human visual system is amenable to a number of adaptive processes; one such process, or collection of processes, is the adaptation to blur. Blur adaptation can be observed as an improvement in vision under degraded conditions, and these changes occur relatively rapidly following exposure to blur. The potential important future directions of this research area and the clinical implications of blur adaptation are discussed.

It is essential in combat sports such as boxing for athletes to perceive the relevant visual information that enables them to anticipate and respond to their opponent's attacking and defensive moves. Here, we used virtual reality (VR), which enables standardization and reproducibility while maintaining perception-action coupling, to assess the influence of a gaze-contingent blur on the visual processes that underpin these boxing behaviours. Eleven elite French boxers were placed in an immersive and adaptive first-person VR environment where they had to avoid by dodging one or two punches, and then counterattack to strike their opponent.

Current deep learning-based phase unwrapping techniques for iToF Lidar sensors focus mainly on static indoor scenarios, ignoring motion blur in dynamic outdoor scenarios. Our paper proposes a two-stage semi-supervised method to unwrap ambiguous depth maps affected by motion blur in dynamic outdoor scenes. The method trains on static datasets to learn unwrapped depth map prediction and then adapts to dynamic datasets using continuous learning methods.

IMU-aided adaptive mesh-grid based video motion deblurring.

Motion blur is a problem that degrades the visual quality of images for human perception and also challenges computer vision tasks. While existing studies mostly focus on deblurring algorithms to remove uniform blur due to their computational efficiency, such approaches fail when faced with non-uniform blur. In this study, we propose a novel algorithm for motion deblurring that utilizes an adaptive mesh-grid approach to manage non-uniform motion blur with a focus on reducing the computational cost.

Underwater images can suffer from visibility and quality degradation due to the attenuation of propagated light and other factors unique to the underwater setting. While Retinex-based approaches have shown to be effective in enhancing the underwater image quality, the use of hand-crafted priors and optimization-driven solutions often prevent the adaptivity of these methods to different types of underwater images. Moreover, the commonly-used white balance strategy which often appears in the preprocessing stage of the underwater image enhancement (UIE) algorithms may give rise to unwanted color distortions due to the fact that wavelength-dependent light absorption is not taken into account.

We investigated how long-term visual experience with habitual spherical aberration (SA) influences subjective depth of focus (DoF). Nine healthy cycloplegic eyes with habitual SAs of different signs and magnitudes were enrolled. An adaptive optics (AO) visual simulator was used to measure through-focus high-contrast visual acuity after correcting all monochromatic aberrations and imposing + 0.
