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 …

The interaction of light and matter in the world surrounding us is of striking complexity and
beauty. Since the very beginning of computer graphics, adequate modelling of these …

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 …

A comprehensive mathematical model to account for colour constancy is formulated. Since
the visual system is able to measure true object colour in complex scenes under a broad …

A principle of perceptual organization, called uniform connectedness (UC), is described, and
a theoretical approach to perceptual organization is proposed in which this principle plays a …

Under typical viewing conditions, we find it easy to distinguish between different materials,
such as metal, plastic, and paper. Recognizing materials from their surface reflectance …

Owing to the limited dynamic range of a neuron's output, neural circuits are faced with a
trade-off between encoding the full range of their inputs and resolving gradations among …

We present an algorithm for separating the shading and reflectance images of
photographed natural scenes. The algorithm exploits the constraint that in natural scenes …

Presents an introductory text on the 3 major areas of visual perception: sensory
organization, information processing, and spatial organization. Major topics include …

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 …
