58: Psychometrics 101: How to Design, Conduct, and Analyze
Perceptual Experiments in Computer Graphics
Wednesday, Half Day
1:30 - 5:15 pm
Room 006CD
Psychometric methods from experimental psychology can
be used to quantify relationships between the properties
of images and what people perceive. This course provides
an introduction to the use of psychometric methods in
computer graphics and teaches attendees how to design
perceptual experiments to advance graphics research and
applications.
Prerequisites
Basic understanding of issues in computer graphics and
electronic imaging. Familiarity with freshman-level college
mathematics is helpful. No specific knowledge of perception
psychology or statistical methods is necessary.
Topics
Experimental methods used to study human visual perception
and performance; how to interpret the results of published
experiments; how to design, run, and analyze psychophysical
user studies to develop perceptually based graphics algorithms
and applications.
