Facilitation of contrast detection by flankers without perceived orientation.
To extract meaningful structure from noisy input signals, the human visual-processing system uses elementary structures, such as contours, to extract more complex informative structures. The first step in contour processing involves identifying local orientation. The phenomenon of collinear facilitation is important for understanding how orientation detection is implemented; at the fovea, a str...
متن کاملPsychometric functions for detection and discrimination with and without flankers.
Recent studies have reported that flanking stimuli broaden the psychometric function and lower detection thresholds. In the present study, we measured psychometric functions for detection and discrimination with and without flankers to investigate whether these effects occur throughout the contrast continuum. Our results confirm that lower detection thresholds with flankers are accompanied by b...
متن کاملextremal region detection guided by maxima of gradient magnitude
a problem of computer vision applications is to detect regions of interest under dif- ferent imaging conditions. the state-of-the-art maximally stable extremal regions (mser) detects affine covariant regions by applying all possible thresholds on the input image, and through three main steps including: 1) making a component tree of extremal regions’ evolution (enumeration), 2) obtaining region ...
Contrast detection facilitation by spatially separated targets and inducers
We measured contrast detection thresholds for a small (3.6 x 3.6 arc min) square target in the presence and absence of spatially identical pedestal stimuli, and of a spatially non-overlapping inducing line (3.6 x 23 arc min). Results for the pedestal stimuli replicated the classical "dipper function", thresholds being reduced by near-threshold pedestals and increased at higher pedestal contrast...
متن کاملOrientation contrast vs orientation in line-target detection
This study concerns the roles of absolute and relative orientation in determining detectability of a line-element target in a background field of uniformly oriented line elements. Target detectability was determined as a function of background-field orientation, sampled at 5 deg intervals, for three levels of orientation contrast--the difference between target and background orientations--sampl...
