title: Colour television, an imitation of the human visual system.
abstract: Colour television is examined as an attempt to imitate the human visual system in image formation, spectral sensitivities, adaptation, contrast effects, signal processing, signal modulation, signal transmission, and interpretation. Many similarities are found, but where differences occur they are discussed in relation to the differences between visual and television technologies.
