NAS/NRC Interagency Support: Committee on Vision

视力委员会（CoVIS）是美国国家科学院国家研究委员会的一个常设委员会，得到几个联邦机构的捐款支持。它就涉及人类视觉系统的问题向主办机构提供分析和建议，包括生理和物理光学、神经生理学、心理物理学、感知、工程和设备、计算机视觉、环境对视觉的影响和视觉障碍等问题。由12名成员组成的委员会帮助选择和确定处理提案国所关心的具体议题的几个工作组的活动。这项工作的结果发表在报告中，可供科学家、公众和工业界使用，并对视觉科学的许多领域产生影响。

The Committee on Vision (CoVIS) is a standing committee of the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, which is supported by contributions from several federal agencies. It provides analysis and advice to those sponsoring agencies, on issues involving the human visual system, including questions of physiological and physical optics, neurophysiology, psychophysics, perception, engineering and equipment, computer vision, environmental effects on vision, and visual disorders. The committee of twelve members helps select and define activities of several working groups dealing with specific topics of concern to the sponsors. Results of this work are published in reports available to scientists, the public, and to industry, and have impact on many areas of vision science.
