Abstrakt: This report describes experimental measurements of threshold contrasts as a function of the angle to the visual axis (peripheral threshold contrasts). The visual tasks consist in detection (perception of presence) and discrimination (perception of a form feature) of simple visual signs during a fixation period realistic observing conditions being chosen. Proceeding from the experimental findings a model for forecasting off-axis threshold contrast functions on different visual conditions is developed based upon spatial frequency filters. Further with the aid of a known model visibility fields are calculated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
