Enhancement of Glossiness Perception by Retinal-Image Motion: Additional Effect of Head-Yoked Motion Parallax
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been argued that when an observer moves, a contingent retinal-image motion of a stimulus would strengthen the perceived glossiness. This would be attributed to the veridical perception of three-dimensional structure by motion parallax. However, it has not been investigated whether the effect of motion parallax is more than that of retinal-image motion of the stimulus. Using a magnitude estimation method, we examine in this paper whether cross-modal coordination of the stimulus change and the observer's motion (i.e., motion parallax) is essential or the retinal-image motion alone is sufficient for enhancing the perceived glossiness. Our data show that a retinal-image motion simulating motion parallax without head motion strengthened the perceived glossiness but that its effect was weaker than that of motion parallax with head motion. These results suggest the existence of an additional effect of the cross-modal coordination between vision and proprioception on glossiness perception. That is, motion parallax enhances the perception of glossiness, in addition to retinal-image motions of specular surfaces.

Modeling depth from motion parallax with the motion/pursuit ratio
The perception of unambiguous scaled depth from motion parallax relies on both retinal image motion and an extra-retinal pursuit eye movement signal. The motion/pursuit ratio represents a dynamic geometric model linking these two proximal cues to the ratio of depth to viewing distance. An important step in understanding the visual mechanisms serving the perception of depth from motion parallax ...
متن کاملThe pursuit theory of motion parallax
Although motion parallax is closely associated with observer head movement, the underlying neural mechanism appears to rely on a pursuit-like eye movement signal to disambiguate perceived depth sign from the ambiguous retinal motion information [Naji, J.

متن کاملThe motion/pursuit law for visual depth perception from motion parallax
One of vision's most important functions is specification of the layout of objects in the 3D world. While the static optical geometry of retinal disparity explains the perception of depth from binocular stereopsis, we propose a new formula to link the pertinent dynamic geometry to the computation of depth from motion parallax. Mathematically, the ratio of retinal image motion (motion) and smoot...
متن کاملDepth perception from dynamic occlusion in motion parallax: roles of expansion-compression versus accretion-deletion.
Motion parallax, or differential retinal image motion from observer movement, provides important information for depth perception. We previously measured the contribution of shear motion parallax to depth, which is only composed of relative motion information. Here, we examine the roles of relative motion and accretion-deletion information in dynamic occlusion motion parallax. Observers perform...
متن کاملThe contribution of color to depth perceived from motion parallax
Perceived depth was measured in a colored stimulus while stimulus movement yoked to head displacement simulated a depth of 1 cm. Velocity judgments were also made for similar stimuli moving at the same average speed but without head movement. Both measures decreased to a minimum of about 30-40% of the veridical values when the stimuli were equiluminous. Perceived depth and speed also decreased ...
