Evaluating Barten image metric for predicting character recognition in people with low vision. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2013;50(10):1343–52. Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Aim – Explore whether Barten square root integral (SQRI) can predict ability of users with low vision to see images on small visual displays (SVDs) on electronic devices. Relevance – Electronic devices with SVDs are often inaccessible to people with vision loss. – Barten SQRI is image-quality metric already shown to predict whether people with normal vision can see images on cathode ray tube monitor.
