Extending the Flicker Visibility Metric to a Range of Mean Luminance  (2015)

We previously proposed a flicker visibility metric for bright displays, based on psychophysical data collected at a high mean luminance. Here we extend the metric to other mean luminances. This extension relies on a linear relation between log sensitivity and critical fusion frequency, and a linear relation between critical fusion frequency and log retinal illuminance. Consistent with our previous metric, the extended flicker visibility metric is measured in just-noticeable differences (JNDs).
