Discrimination of orientation-defined texture edges
نویسندگان
چکیده
Preattentive texture segregation was examined using textures composed of randomly placed, oriented line segments. A difference in texture element orientation produced an illusory, or orientation-defined, texture edge. Subjects discriminated between two textures, one with a straight texture edge and one with a "wavy" texture edge. Across conditions the orientation of the texture elements and the orientation of the texture edge varied. Although the orientation difference across the texture edge (the "texture gradient") is an important determinant of texture segregation performance, it is not the only one. Evidence from several experiments suggests that configural effects are also important. That is, orientation-defined texture edges are strongest when the texture elements (on one side of the edge) are parallel to the edge. This result is not consistent with a number of texture segregation models including feature- and filter-based models. One possible explanation is that the second-order channel used to detect a texture edge of a particular orientation gives greater weight to first-order input channels of that same orientation.

The influence of shape and skeletal axis structure on texture perception.
We studied the relationship between texture orientation and shape skeletal axes in two tasks related to texture perception. The first series of experiments investigated discrimination of texture-defined shapes. We found that alignment between texture orientation and the skeletal axis of a figural region improved the segmentation strength, as did a perpendicular arrangement to a lesser extent. T...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Aspect Ratio Discrimination for Shape Defined by Orientation Texture
A pattern of 12,860 short (0.15 x 0.05 deg) texture lines contained an orientation texture-defined (OTD) rectangle of aspect ratio a/b (a was the rectangle's height and b was its width). All the lines within the rectangle had the same orientation and all the lines outside the rectangle had the same orientation. These two orientations were theta deg symmetrically clockwise and anticlockwise of t...
متن کاملA Detection-Theoretic Approach to Texture and Edge Discrimination
We present a probabilistic approach to the discrimination between textured areas and edges; locally defined probabilistic models are used, which model textured areas as sinusoidal and edges as phase-congruent signals. We build a link with energy-based feature detection and propose a simple approach to the discrimination between these two classes. This facilitates the selective use of texture/ed...
متن کاملTilt aftereffect for texture edges is larger than in matched subjective edges, but both are strong adaptors of luminance edges.
The tilt aftereffect (TAE) has been used previously to probe whether contours defined by different attributes are subserved by the same or by different underlying mechanisms. Here, we compare two types of contours between texture surfaces, one with texture orientation contrast across the edge (orientation contrast contour; OC) and one without, commonly referred to as a subjective contour (SC). ...
متن کاملBeyond fourth-order texture discrimination: generation of extreme-order and statistically-balanced textures
Julesz introduced the concept of statistically defined textures and their perceptual discrimination. Julesz showed that discrimination was possible with statistics equated to third-order, specifying fourth-order textures. Klein and Tyler offered a variety of paradigms suggesting that fourth order might be the limit on human texture processing. To go beyond this limit, new texture paradigms are ...
