Perceived color at a point in space is not determined simply by the color directly stimulating the corresponding retinal position. Surface color is informed by flanking edge signals, which also serve to inhibit the intrusion of signals from neighboring surfaces. Spatially continuous local interactions among color and luminance signals have been implicated in a propagation process often referred...

Multiple color stripes have been employed for structured light-based rapid range imaging to increase the number of uniquely identifiable stripes. The use of multiple color stripes poses two problems: (1) object surface color may disturb the stripe color and (2) the number of adjacent stripes required for identifying a stripe may not be maintained near surface discontinuities such as occluding b...

Several studies document rudimentary color vision under dim illumination. Here, hue perceptions of paper color samples were determined for a wide range of light levels, including very low light levels where rods alone mediate vision. The appearances of 24 paper color samples from the OSA Uniform Color Scales were gauged under successively dimmer illuminations from 10-0.0003 Lux. Triads of sampl...

We present a computational deenition of the Optimal Color Stimuli surface, which corresponds to the limit of physically realizable surface spectral reeectance functions. We can use this surface to quantify and visualize color space properties, as we demonstrate for the CIE XYZ and L*a*b* spaces, as well as our own neurophysiologically-based NPP space. We then extend the technique to compute a r...

In synesthesia, stimulation of one sensory modality (e.g., hearing) triggers a percept in another, non-stimulated sensory modality (e.g., vision). Likewise, perception of a form (e.g., a letter) may induce a color percept (i.e., grapheme-color synesthesia). To date, the neural mechanisms underlying synesthesia remain to be elucidated. We disclosed by fMRI, while controlling for surface color pr...

introduction:.color is the first quality attribute of food evaluated by consumers, and is therefore an important quality component of food which influences consumer’s choice and preferences (maguire, 1994). color measurement of food products has been used as an indirect measure of other quality attributes such as flavor and contents of pigments because it is simpler, faster and correlates well ...

Objectives: Composite surface sealants were introduced aiming to prevent or decrease the discoloration and microleakage of composite restorations. This study sought to assess the effect of aging on discoloration of two composite surface sealants. Methods: In this experimental study, 24 samples were fabricated of Fortify Plus and BisCover LV composite surface sealants (10mm in diameter and 1mm ...

In camera-based object recognition and classification, surface color is one of the most important characteristics. However, apparent object color may differ significantly according to the illumination and surface conditions. Such a variation can be an obstacle in utilizing color features. Geusebroek et al.’s color invariants can be a powerful tool for characterizing the object color regardless ...

the influence of mechanical polishing pre-treatments on steel substrates is investigated in terms of microstructure, deposition rate, adhesion, mechanical and corrosion properties of electroless Ni-P nanocoating with 9-10% wt. of P content. XRD analysis of Ni-P coatings demonstrated the nanocrystalline structure of coating with the grain size of 39 nm. Results showed that pretreatment of substr...
