lowlight vision

Simulate human lowlight vision. This module can also be used to perform a day-to-night conversion.

The idea is to calculate a scotopic vision image, which is perceived by the rods rather than the cones in the eyes under low light. Scotopic lightness is then mixed with photopic value (regular color image pixel) using some blending function. This module can also simulate the Purkinje effect by adding some blueness to the dark parts of the image.

This module comes with several presets, which can be used to get a better idea of how the module works.
