Master’s Project 2021 – Estimate Pupil Size

Using predefined models of human response to light, this web tool aims to allow users to easily calculate pupil size and estimate the amount and quality of light reaching the retina of a subject based on illuminance at the eye, spectral power distribution at the eye, and the age of the subject.
