Luminance, disparity, and range statistics in 3D natural scenes

چکیده
Range maps have been actively studied in the last few years in the context of depth perception in natural scenes. With the availability of co-registered luminance information, we have the ability to examine and model the statistical relationships between luminance, range and disparity. In this study, we find that a onesided generalized gaussian distribution closely fits the prior of the range gradient. This finding sheds new light on statistical modeling of 2D and 3D image features in natural scenes.

Bivariate statistical modeling of color and range in natural scenes
The statistical properties embedded in visual stimuli from the surrounding environment guide and affect the evolutionary processes of human vision systems. There are strong statistical relationships between co-located luminance/chrominance and disparity bandpass coefficients in natural scenes. However, these statistical relationships have only been deeply developed to create point-wise statisti...
متن کاملRelative luminance and binocular disparity preferences are correlated in macaque primary visual cortex, matching natural scene statistics.
Humans excel at inferring information about 3D scenes from their 2D images projected on the retinas, using a wide range of depth cues. One example of such inference is the tendency for observers to perceive lighter image regions as closer. This psychophysical behavior could have an ecological basis because nearer regions tend to be lighter in natural 3D scenes. Here, we show that an analogous a...
متن کاملEstimating 3D tilt from local image cues in natural scenes
Estimating three-dimensional (3D) surface orientation (slant and tilt) is an important first step toward estimating 3D shape. Here, we examine how three local image cues from the same location (disparity gradient, luminance gradient, and dominant texture orientation) should be combined to estimate 3D tilt in natural scenes. We collected a database of natural stereoscopic images with precisely c...
متن کاملPerceived depth in natural images reflects encoding of low-level luminance statistics.
Sighted animals must survive in an environment that is diverse yet highly structured. Neural-coding models predict that the visual system should allocate its computational resources to exploit regularities in the environment, and that this allocation should facilitate perceptual judgments. Here we use three approaches (natural scenes statistical analysis, a reanalysis of single-unit data from a...

Our perceptual systems are shaped by our natural environment. Statistical studies on natural scenes have provided important insights to the development of simple cell receptive fields ? and the connectivity among orientation selective neurons in the primary visual cortex 1,25, 28. Here, we extended such study to the neural encoding of statistical regularities of 3D surfaces in natural scenes. A...
