Perceptual filling-in exemplifies the constructive nature of visual processing. Color, a prominent surface property of visual objects, can appear to spread to neighboring areas that lack any color. We investigated cortical responses to a color filling-in illusion that effectively dissociates perceived color from the retinal input (van Lier, Vergeer, & Anstis, 2009). Observers adapted to a star-...

Realistic 3D human model reconstruction is an important component in computer graphics and computer vision. In particular, texturing on the surface of models is a key stage of reconstruction. In this paper, we dispose the texture mapping on the model's surface as an optimization of image stitching, and present an effective method to generate a seamless, integrated and smooth texture on the surf...

We explored the relation between individual differences in working memory (WM) and color constancy, the phenomenon of color perception that allows us to perceive the color of an object as relatively stable under changes in illumination. Successive color constancy (measured by first viewing a colored surface under a particular illumination and later recalling it under a new illumination) was bet...

It is concluded from presented experimental and theoretical consideration that the notion of “light source” is inadequate for description of the color perception and an alternative way to define and to describe the illumination is suggested. Color constancy as phenomena of perceiving the same color of curved and homogeneously painted surfaces is considered and it is shown that surface colors ca...
