Uncertainty in visual processes predicts geometrical optical illusions
It is proposed in this paper that many geometrical optical illusions, as well as illusory patterns due to motion signals in line drawings, are due to the statistics of visual computations. The interpretation of image patterns is preceded by a step where image features such as lines, intersections of lines, or local image movement must be derived. However, there are many sources of noise or unce...
متن کاملBias in Visual Motion Processes: A Theory Predicting Illusions
The first step in the interpretation of video sequences is the estimation of spatio-temporal image representations, that is the image motion or the correspondence of points or lines. Noise in the data, however, causes a serious problem for their estimation; in particular, it causes bias. As a result the location of image points, the orientation of image lines and the length and orientation of i...
متن کاملIllusions in the spatial sense of the eye: Geometrical–optical illusions and the neural representation of space
Differences between the geometrical properties of simple configurations and their visual percept are called geometrical-optical illusions. They can be differentiated from illusions in the brightness or color domains, from ambiguous figures and impossible objects, from trompe l'oeil and perspective drawing with perfectly valid views, and from illusory contours. They were discovered independently...
متن کاملModeling Geometrical Mysteries of Cafe Wall illusions
This paper explores the tilt illusion effect in the Café Wall pattern using a classical Gaussian Receptive Field model. In this illusion, the mortar lines are misperceived as diverging or converging rather than horizontal. We examine the capability of a simple bioplausible filtering model to recognize different degrees of tilt effect in the Café Wall illusion based on different characteristics ...
متن کاملDo visual illusions probe the visual brain? Illusions in action without a dorsal visual stream.
Visual illusions have been shown to affect perceptual judgements more so than motor behaviour, which was interpreted as evidence for a functional division of labour within the visual system. The dominant perception-action theory argues that perception involves a holistic processing of visual objects or scenes, performed within the ventral, inferior temporal cortex. Conversely, visuomotor action...
