Parameters:
  • u (numeric) – Spatial frequency \(u\), the cycles per degree.
  • X_0 (numeric or array_like, optional) – Angular size \(X_0\) in degrees of the object in the x direction.
  • X_max (numeric or array_like, optional) – Maximum angular size \(X_{max}\) in degrees of the integration area in the x direction.
  • N_max (numeric or array_like, optional) – Maximum number of cycles \(N_{max}\) over which the eye can integrate the information.
