Dataset: Rovamo et al. 1993

Notes on the dataset:

Data from Figure 2 in the paper, only for vertical gratings, square apertures (observer OL).

CSF as the funcation of stimulus area

Dataset: High Dynamic Range CSF

CSF as the function of frequency at different luminance levels (fixed number of cycles)

CSF for different number of cycles

Dataset: HDR-VDP CSF

Achromatic CSF as a function of frequency

Achromatic CSF as a function of size

Dataset: ModelFest

Notes on the dataset:

Data for stimuli 1-14, which contain Gabor patches of fixed size or fixed number of cycles.

Achroatic CSF as a function of frequency

Dataset: Laird et al. 2006

Notes on the dataset:

The data was imported from Fig. 7 in the paper. The background colour was assumed to be D65.

Achromatic CSF as a function of temporal frequency for different spatial frequencies

Dataset: Virsu & Rovamo 1979

Notes on the dataset:

Data from Fig. 2C in the paper - Detection (of a grating with circular aperture).

Contrast sensitivity of central and peripheral vision as a function of spatial frequency and eccentricity

Dataset: Robson 1966

Notes on the dataset:

The data was imported from both the figures in the paper. Since no spectral information was given, we assumed a white P4 CRT.

Spatial CSF for different temporal frequencies

Temporal CSF for different spatial frequencies

Dataset: Virsu et al. 1982

Contrast sensitivity as the function of frequency

Contrast sensitivity as the function of eccentricity

Dataset: Snowden et al. 1995

Notes on the dataset:

The data was imported from Figures 1 and 11 in the paper. We have assumed an achromatic stimuli. The original stimulus in the paper is isoluminant for rods. Hence, we will not consider lower luminance data from this work.

Temporal Contrast sensitivity as function of spatial frequency and luminance

Dataset: Anderson et al. 1991

Notes on the dataset:

The data was imported from Figure 1, 2 in the paper. The threshold was measured as the contrast where the direction of drifting of the stimulus grating was no longer discernible. The eccentricity directions in the retinal field are encoded as; temporal: 0, superior: 90, nasal: 180, and inferior: 270.

Contrast sensitivity as the function of retinal visual field (at 8 Hz)

Dataset: Wright and Johnson 1983

Notes on the dataset:

Data points from figures 1, 2, 4, and 5 are extracted. The apparatus uses a green P31 phosphor but since we are only interested in the luminance profile, we assume a D65 background modulated along achromatic direction. A rectangular tapered grating is used. The variable ge_sigma represents the longer dimension of the stimulus.
