We obtained (apparently) linear responses to luminance from three special displays of apparent motion, Vernier offset and stereoscopic depth. In our motion stimulus a dark and a light bar exchanged luminances repetitively on a grey surround. Motion was attributed to the bar that differed more from the surround, that is, on a dark surround the light bar appeared to jump, and on a light surround ...

Perceptual learning, a process in which training improves visual discrimination, is often specific to the trained retinal location, and this location specificity is frequently regarded as an indication of neural plasticity in the retinotopic visual cortex. However, our previous studies have shown that "double training" enables location-specific perceptual learning, such as Vernier learning, to ...

A modified-weak-value-amplification(MWVA) technique of measuring the mirror's velocity based on Vernier-effect has been proposed. We have demonstrated with sensitivity-enhanced and higher signal-to-noise ratio(${\rm SNR}$) by using two cascaded Michelson interferometers. These interferometers are composed similar optical structures. One interferometer a fixed mirror acts as part Vernier-scale, ...

We propose a new object-centric framework for learning-based stereo 3D object detection. Previous studies build scene-centric representations that do not consider the significant variation among outdoor instances and thus lack flexibility functionalities an instance-level model can offer. such by formulating tackling local update problem, i.e., how to predict refined given initial cuboid guess....

The Vernier acuity of 50 normal untrained subjects (20 males and 30 females) was measured by the method of adjustment. Subjects were divided into five age ranges with 10 subjects in each age group: 5-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, and 41-50 years. All subjects had normal visual acuity (20/20) and volunteered to participate in the experiment. Children were selected from a local school and adults recru...

BACKGROUND To estimate the age by evaluating the area and length of dentin translucency in single-rooted ground sections of extracted teeth using digital Vernier caliper and stereomicroscope. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ground sections of single rooted permanent anterior teeth were made and stained with 1% methylene blue. The area and length of dentin translucency were measured using digital Vernie...

Thresholds were measured for five tasks: line detection, intensity discrimination, two-line resolution, vernier acuity and line-orientation discrimination. For each task, 30 arcmin lines were presented foveally in eight retinal meridians to assess similarities in orientation anisotropies across tasks in the same observer. Three observers were tested. The pattern of the orientation anisotropy di...
