Visual texture perception and Fourier analysis

Visual Perception of Texture

What is visual texture, and how might a study of the visual perception of texture help us to better understand human vision? In this chapter we will attempt to give the reader a feel for how the study of texture perception is useful both in understanding the impact of texture itself, as well as in providing a better understanding of basic visual mechanisms that respond not only to texture but t...

Wavelet-based Texture Retrieval and Modeling Visual Texture Perception

him and his colleagues, to whom I extend my sincere thanks. I am also grateful to my supervisor, Professor C. C. Ko, for his sustained encouragement throughout my research, and the frequent seminars arranged by him, which stimulated my thoughts and enhanced my knowledge. I wish to thank my friends at the National University of Singapore (NUS), who helped me in innumerable ways during my study. ...

Analysis of a hyperbolic geometric model for visual texture perception

We study the neural field equations introduced by Chossat and Faugeras to model the representation and the processing of image edges and textures in the hypercolumns of the cortical area V1. The key entity, the structure tensor, intrinsically lives in a non-Euclidean, in effect hyperbolic, space. Its spatio-temporal behaviour is governed by nonlinear integro-differential equations defined on th...

Aesthetic perception of visual textures: a holistic exploration using texture analysis, psychological experiment, and perception modeling

Modeling human aesthetic perception of visual textures is important and valuable in numerous industrial domains, such as product design, architectural design, and decoration. Based on results from a semantic differential rating experiment, we modeled the relationship between low-level basic texture features and aesthetic properties involved in human aesthetic texture perception. First, we compu...
