Key Concepts

Visual Perception

Visual perception refers to the process by which the brain interprets and organizes visual information received from the eyes. It encompasses various mechanisms, including color constancy, that help ensure a coherent and stable representation of the world by compensating for differences in environmental conditions such as illumination.

Color Constancy

Color constancy is the perceptual mechanism by which the human visual system maintains the appearance of an object’s color despite changes in the lighting conditions. This means that even when the illumination spectrum shifts—for example, from sunlight to fluorescent light—the colors we perceive remain relatively stable, allowing us to recognize objects under varied environmental lighting.
