Texture regularity, such as the repeating pattern in a carpet, brickwork or tree bark, is a
ubiquitous feature of the visual world. The perception of regularity has generally been …

Previous studies have shown that texture regularity is adaptable, and have suggested that
texture regularity might be coded by the peakedness of the underlying spatial frequency …

Subjective assessments of spatial regularity are common in everyday life and also in
science, for example in developmental biology. It has recently been shown that regularity is …

A fundamental issue in texture analysis is that of deciding what textural features are
important in texture perception, and how they are used. Experiments on human preattentive …

In the first part of this thesis, we conducted two evaluation experiments on the ability of 51
computational feature sets to estimate perceptual texture similarity using two different …

The perception of visual texture can support the segregation of surfaces as well as the
recognition, from surface qualities, of material substances. Adaptation studies of the visual …

Texture may provide important clues for real world object and scene perception. To be
reliable, these clues should ideally be invariant to common viewing variations such as …

Natural scenes contain localized variations in both first-order (luminance) and second-order
(contrast and texture) information. There is much evidence that first-and second-order stimuli …

Many previous studies have examined the ease with which two spatially adjacent textures
can be segmented. Our goal is to examine the representational system that determines the …

Regularity is a ubiquitous feature of the visual world. We demonstrate that regularity is an
adaptable visual dimension: The perceived regularity of a pattern is reduced following …
