The color appearance of a light can be altered by introducing a second, surrounding field. This phenomenon, called chromatic induction, is attenuated by chromatic variation within a remote region outside the surround [Shevell & Wei (1998). Vision Research, 38, 1561-1566]. We now consider the locus of the neural mechanism mediating the attenuation caused by the remote chromatic contrast. In the ...

The structure of human disparity representation is examined through (i) adaptation experiments and (ii) model simulations of the data. Section 3 presents results of adaptation experiments designed to illuminate the structure of human disparity representation. Section 4 presents model simulations of three different disparity representation schemes. In the experiments, participants adapted to a 0...

The disparity between supply and demand for transplantable solid organs has resulted in strategies to drive increased organ donation, including public solicitations for living donors. Public organ solicitation occurs when a recipient or their representative solicits an organ for transplantation by public broadcast (e.g., social media or a public notice). The intended donor and recipient may not...

Binocular disparity is an aspect of natural viewing. This research investigates whether disparity affects surface color perception. Achromatic settings were obtained and compared for two stereograms of a scene with specular reflections, one stereogram with binocular disparity and one without it (cyclopean view). Binocular disparity was found to improve color constancy. Next, the geometry of spe...

Does human vision show the contrast invariance expected of an ideal stereoscopic system for computing depth from disparity? We used random-dot stereograms to investigate the luminance contrast effect on perceived depth from disparity. The perceived depth of disparity corrugations was measured by adjusting the length of a horizontal line to match the perceived depth of the corrugations at variou...

Linear transformations (shear or scale transformations) of either horizontal or vertical disparity give rise to the percept of slant or inclination. It has been proposed that the percept of slant induced by vertical size disparity, known as Ogle's induced-size effect, and the analogous induced-shear effect, compensate for scale and shear distortions arising from aniseikonia, eccentric viewing, ...

This paper focuses on realtime hand segmentation from stereo camera, where the simple thresholding operation with the dense disparity map is not appropriate since it is time consuming to compute the dense disparity map, and proposes a novel method of skin color weighted disparity competition. The basic idea is that the hand disparity will be apparently different from most of the background disp...

Binocular coordination of the eyes during reading was examined. Fixation disparity greater than one character occurred on 47% of fixations, with the disparity being predominantly uncrossed (39%), though a small proportion of fixations were crossed. The average magnitude of disparity, measured at the end of fixation, was 1.1 characters for all fixations. For the 47% of non-aligned fixations the ...
