The problem of color constancy may be solved if we can recover the physical properties of
illuminants and surfaces from photosensor responses. We consider this problem within the …

A review of the field of lightness perception from Helmholtz to the present shows the most
adequate theories of lightness perception to be the intrinsic image models. Nevertheless …

Information Visualization: Perception for Design, Fourth Edition explores the art and science
of why we see objects the way we do. Based on the science of perception and vision, the …

The essential resource for readers needing to understand visual perception and for those
trying to produce, reproduce and measure color appearance in various applications such as …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses three questions: Why are there so many sources
of information about layout? How is it that one perceives layout with near-metric accuracy …

Austen Clark offers a general account of the forms of mental representation that we call"
sensory." Drawing on the findings of current neuroscience, Clark defends the hypothesis that …

This chapter deals with the recent methods and theories developed to study subjects'
strategies in the performance of perceptual and cognitive tasks. Strategy refers to the …

How the human visual system determines the lightness of a surface, that is, its whiteness,
blackness, or grayness, remains--like vision in general--a mystery. In fact, we have not even …

Blakeslee and McCourt ((1997) Vision Research, 37, 2849–2869) demonstrated that a
multiscale array of two-dimensional difference-of-Gaussian (DOG) filters provided a simple …

We examined how well we can recover surface-reflectance properties from shading patterns
under changes in surface shape. The stimulus we used was a square surface modulated in …
