چکیده

We have studied how contrast threshold sensitivity depends jointly on pattern and color. We measured sensitivity to colored Gabor patches from 0.5 to 8 c/deg. At each spatial frequency, we measured in many different color directions. We analyze the sensitivity measurements using a series of nested models. We conclude that a model consisting of three pattern-color separable mechanisms predicts detection performance nearly as well as fitting psychometric functions independently. We derive the pattern and color sensitivities of the separable mechanisms from the experimental data. Two derived mechanisms are spatially lowpass and spectrally color-opponent. The third mechanism is spatially bandpass and spectrally broadband.

Appearance of colored patterns: pattern-color separability.

We have measured how color appearance of square-wave bars varies with stimulus strength and spatial frequency. Observers adjusted the color of a uniform patch to match the color appearance of the bars in square-wave patterns. We used low-to-moderate square-wave patterns, from 1 to 8 cycles per degree (c/deg). The matches are not photoreceptor matches but rather are established at more central n...

The appearance of colored patterns: pattern-color separability

We have measured how color appearance of squarewave bars varies with stimulus strength and spatial frequency. Observer's adjusted the color of an uniform patch to match the color appearance of the bars in squarewave patterns. We used low to moderate squarewave patterns, from one to eight cycles per degree (cpd). The matches are not photoreceptor matches, but rather are established at more centr...

An Adaptive Structured Light Pattern for the 3D Profiling of Colored Objects

Coded structured light is a fast and reliable technique to acquire the geometry of a measuring surface since the pattern codification might solve the correspondence problem in a single shot. Colored patterns reduce pattern segmentation complexity but their efficiency decreases in the presence of colored surfaces. We propose a color coded pattern which is automatically adapted depending on the c...

Stochastic Gene Expression: Dominance, Thresholds and Boundaries

Butterfly color patterns are built as finely tiles mosaics of colored scales, each the product of a single epidermal cell. The overall pattern is composed of a small number of pigments. Each scale appears to make an all-or-none “choice” to synthesize only one of this small set of alternative pigments. Gradual transitions from one color to another on the wing are accomplished by graded changes i...

Color Appearance of Mixture Gratings

We have examined how color appearance varies with spatial pattern. Subjects set color-matches between a uniform, 2 deg matching field and bars within squarewave patterns (1,2 and 4 c/deg) or the superposition of these squarewaves. The matches were set using squarewaves and squarewave mixtures with many different colors and contrasts. The color-matches satisfied the basic properties of a linear ...
