Depth and luminance edges attract.

چکیده
The spatial resolution of disparity perception is poor compared to luminance perception, yet we do not notice that depth edges are more blurry than luminance edges. Is this because the two cues are combined by the visual system? Subjects judged the locations of depth-defined or luminance-defined edges, which were separated by up to 5.6 min of arc. The perceived edge location was a function of the depth-defined edge and the luminance-defined edge, with the luminance edge tending to play a larger role. Our data are compatible with but not completely explained by an optimal cue-combination model that gives more reliable cues a heavier weight. Both edge cues (depth and luminance) contribute to the final percept, with an adaptive weighting depending on the task and the acuity with which each cue is perceived.

Stereopsis due to luminance differences in the two eyes
A local region in an image is seen as slanted when the two eyes are shown different luminance values in that region. The steepness of the slant depends upon the size of the region and the difference in the luminance values in the two eyes. Three examples where this phenomenon influences depth perception are given: (1) stereopsis without corresponding binocular luminance edges is shown to be a l...
متن کاملInteractions between luminance and color signals: effects on shape.
Although luminance and color are thought to be processed independently at early stages of visual processing, there is evidence that they interact at later stages. For example, chromatic information has been shown to enhance or suppress depth from luminance depending on whether chromatic edges are aligned or orthogonal with luminance edges. Here we explored more generally how chromatic informati...
متن کاملLuminance edges are not necessary for visual completion.
Luminance edges seem to have an important role in visual feature binding and, more specifically, in visual completion because luminance differences are important for the perception of depth. We investigated this claim in two experiments in which the primed-matching paradigm was used. In Experiment 1, we investigated conditions under which either a partly occluded shape or an occluder was isolum...
متن کاملPerceptual organization in lightness
The earliest thinking about lightness assumed that perceptual experience correlates with local stimulation. Wallach’s (1948) celebrated disk/annulus experiments showed that lightness depends on relative luminance, not absolute luminance, but his ratio theory recognized perceptual structure in only a minimal way. Work following the cognitive revolution showed that lightness depends on (1) depth ...
متن کاملVisual dissociations of movement, position, and stereo depth: some phenomenal phenomena.
When narrow bordering stripes arc added, further systematic phenomena occur. With intensity modulation of an edge-striped grey rectangle, which has a dark stripe on the left side and a light stripe on the right (which is similar to figures used by Stuart Anstis and Brian Rogers), the entire figure shifts, with reversed motion when the background luminance is modulated. By presenting a pair of s...
