Ladder contours are undetectable in the periphery: a crowding effect?
We studied the perceptual integration of contours consisting of Gabor elements positioned along a smooth path, embedded among distractor elements. Contour elements either formed tangents to the path ("snakes") or were perpendicular to it ("ladders"). Perfectly straight snakes and ladders were easily detected in the fovea but, at an eccentricity of 6 degrees , only the snakes were detectable. Th...
متن کاملDetecting Salient Contours Using Orientation Energy Distribution
How does our visual system detect prominent contours? Our investigation begins with the observation that neurons in the visual cortex have receptive fields similar to oriented Gabor filters. Unlike plain gray-level intensity histograms which greatly vary across images, we found that Gabor orientation-response (or orientation-energy) histograms of natural images have a fairly uniform shape. Base...
متن کاملOn the generality of crowding: visual crowding in size, saturation, and hue compared to orientation.
Perception of peripherally viewed shapes is impaired when surrounded by similar shapes. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as "crowding". Although studied extensively for perception of characters (mainly letters) and, to a lesser extent, for orientation, little is known about whether and how crowding affects perception of other features. Nevertheless, current crowding models suggest that t...
متن کاملIntegrating Contours Within and Through Depth
To better understand the role of disparity in contour integration we compared detection performance of "paths" composed of elements confined either to a single depth plane, or spanning multiple depth planes. In both cases paths defined by alignment of elements were embedded in a noise background-field made up of similar, but randomly positioned, elements covering the same depth range as the pat...
متن کاملA Unifying Model of Orientation Crowding in Peripheral Vision
Peripheral vision is fundamentally limited not by the visibility of features, but by the spacing between them [1]. When too close together, visual features can become "crowded" and perceptually indistinguishable. Crowding interferes with basic tasks such as letter and face identification and thus informs our understanding of object recognition breakdown in peripheral vision [2]. Multiple propos...
