However, this requires a good understanding of what is and what is not visible to the human eye. For that reason, display engineering is tightly linked to the understanding and modeling of visual perception.
Chapter 4 of this book introduced the basic limitations of visual perception that are commonly considered in display design. In this chapter we will take a closer look at selected perceptual models and present a few examples where they are used in practice.
