Vernier step acuity and bisection acuity for texture-defined form
Using as the stimulus a texture pattern of short lines, we compared positional acuity thresholds for an orientation-texture-defined (OTD) boundary and a luminance-defined (LD) boundary. Texture lines had different orientations but the same luminance on either side of the OTD boundary, and different luminances but the same orientation on either side of the LD boundary. For the LD boundary, both ...
متن کاملResolution Acuity is better than Vernier Acuity
Our impressive sensitivity to vernier offsets as compared to resolution acuity has long inspired vision researchers to study the phenomena in great detail. In this study we use the test-pedestal framework to compare resolution and vernier acuity. In these experiments the test stimulus is the same for both tasks, only the pedestals differ. When thresholds are expressed in common units of test st...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal vernier acuity.
The study of space-time vernier (STV) provides information on the spatio-temporal structure of the visual system in the same way that the classical spatio-spatial vernier (SSV) provides information on its spatial structure. The transposition of a SSV task into a STV one yields the following experimental format: an object (in the present case a Gaussian Blob) drifts with a constant velocity, V, ...
متن کاملVernier acuity, crowding and amblyopia.
When a vernier target is flanked by a pair of optimally positioned flanks, offset discrimination is strongly degraded. Spatial interference with vernier acuity was studied in each eye of observers with unilateral amblyopia associated with strabismus, anisometropia or both, and were compared to the functions obtained in the normal periphery (Levi et al., 1985). The results showed that: (1) For b...
متن کاملUnmasking the mechanisms for Vernier acuity: evidence for a template model for Vernier acuity
The goal of this study was to evaluate the mechanisms underlying Vernier acuity, over a range of spatial scales using narrow-band Vernier stimuli and oblique masking. Specifically, the test stimuli consisted of a pair of vertical ribbons of horizontal cosine grating with a vertical Vernier offset between the ribbons. These stimuli have two important advantages for studying Vernier acuity: (1) t...
