Rod-cone interaction under mesopic illumination

在昏暗的光线下，视觉功能和表现会下降。这种情况发生在许多室内环境、紧急情况和交通照明条件下。大约45%的澳大利亚交通事故发生在昏暗的灯光下。该研究项目使用前沿技术来确定在昏暗照明下视觉是如何退化的，并提供准确的参数来更好地设计介观照明环境，以最大限度地提高视觉功能和性能。这项工作将有助于评估新的节能照明系统，并优化交通照明，以便及早识别障碍和危险情况。

Visual function and performance can be degraded under dim light levels. This occurs in many indoor settings, emergency and traffic lighting conditions. Approximately 45% of all Australian traffic fatalities occur under dim light. The research program uses a frontier technology to determine how vision is degraded under dim lighting and provide accurate parameters to better design mesopic lighting environments to maximize visual function and performance. This work will help to evaluate new energy-efficient lighting systems and optimise traffic lighting for early recognition of obstacles and dangerous situations.
