Combining multiple cues for texture edge localization
نویسنده
چکیده
A visual feature such as an edge may be signalled by one of any number of visual cues such as modulation of brightness, color, stereo disparity, motion, texture and so on. Here, a theory is reviewed which suggests that when more than one cue is available, separate location estimates are made using each cue, and the resulting estimates are averaged. Cues which are more reliable are given a correspondingly larger weight in the average. A psychophysical paradigm (perturbation analysis) is described for testing whether the theory applies and estimating its parameters. Preliminary results are described for localization of texture edges signalled by changes in contrast, local texture orientation and local texture scale. The data are consistent with the theory: In the data, individual cues appear to be averaged and more reliable cues are given more weight.

Stain on texture: Perception of a dark spot having a blurred edge on textured backgrounds
When distinguishing illumination from reflectance edges, both edge blurriness and textural continuity across an edge are generally used as cues to promote the illumination-edge interpretation. However, when these cues were combined, i.e., when a dark spot having a blurred edge was placed on textured backgrounds, we unexpectedly found that the spot appears stained or painted rather than differen...

Video text detection plays an important role in applications such as semantic-based video analysis, text information retrieval, archiving and so on. In this paper, we propose a Farsi/Arabic text detection approach. First, with an appropriate edge detector, edges are extracted and then by using edges cross ponts, artificial corners are extracted. Artificial corner histogram analysis is done for ...
متن کاملEdge detection by landing honeybees: Behavioural analysis and model simulations of the underlying mechanism
The mechanism of edge detection in the honeybee was investigated by examining the effects of combining different kinds of visual cues that define an edge. Free-flying bees were trained to land at three different types of edges which were defined by texture and relative motion cues either in isolation or in combination with each other. Bees are able to detect and land at the three types of edges...
متن کاملCombination of texture and color cues in visual segmentation
The visual system can use various cues to segment the visual scene into figure and background. We studied how human observers combine two of these cues, texture and color, in visual segmentation. In our task, the observers identified the orientation of an edge that was defined by a texture difference, a color difference, or both (cue combination). In a fourth condition, both texture and color i...
متن کاملMDS-based segmentation model for the fusion of contour and texture cues in natural images
In this paper, we present an original image segmentation model based on a preliminary spatially adaptive non-linear data dimensionality reduction step integrating contour and texture cues. This new dimensionality reduction model aims at converting an input texture image into a noisy color image in order to greatly simplify its subsequent segmentation. In this latter de-texturing model, the (spa...
