16 Human eye sensitivity and photometric quantities cells, namely cone cells sensitive in the red, green, and blue spectral range. The cone cells are therefore denoted as the red-sensitive, green-sensitive, and blue-sensitive cones, or simply as the red, green, and blue cones. Three different vision regimes are shown in Fig. 16.2 along with the receptors relevant to each of the regimes (Osram Sylvania, 2000). Photopic vision relates to human vision at high ambient light levels (e.g. during daylight conditions) when vision is mediated by the cones. The photopic vision regime applies to luminance levels > 3 cd/m2. Scotopic vision relates to human vision at low ambient light levels (e.g. at night) when vision is mediated by rods. Rods have a much higher sensitivity than the cones. However, the sense of color is essentially lost in the scotopic vision regime. At low light levels such as in a moonless night, objects lose their colors and only appear to have different gray levels. The scotopic vision regime applies to luminance levels < 0.003 cd/m2. Mesopic vision relates to light levels between the photopic and scotopic vision regime (0.003 cd/m2 < mesopic luminance < 3 cd/m2). 276
