The Contrast Sensitivity Function
Prepared by Peter Wenderoth
Imagine that you are driving a car in a very thick fog. Objects which are normally easily seen, like black writing on a white billboard, will be hard to see because the black writing and the white background will both be greyish. That is the difference between whites and blacks - contrast - will be reduced

Saket joined IBM Research Australia in 2013 as a full-time researcher. He received a PhD degree in Computer Science from EPFL, Switzerland under Prof. Karl Aberer in March, 2013. At EPFL he was associated with the Distributed Information Systems Laboratory. Before that he received a Master's (M.Tech.) degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT Bombay in 2006. Prior to joining EPFL, he spent one year working for an Indian startup.
The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is an open-source, freely available software system for 3D computer graphics, image processing and visualization. VTK consists of a C++ class library and several interpreted interface layers including Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python.
