Perceptual transparency in neon color spreading displays.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In neon color spreading displays, both a color illusion and perceptual transparency can be seen. In this study, we investigated the color conditions for the perception of transparency in such displays. It was found that the data are very well accounted for by a generalization of Metelli's (1970) episcotister model of balanced perceptual transparency to tristimulus values. This additive model correctly predicted which combinations of colors would lead to optimal impressions of transparency. Color combinations deviating slightly from the additive model also looked transparent, but less convincingly so.

Transparency: relation to depth, subjective contours, luminance, and neon color spreading.
The perception of transparency is highly dependent on luminance and perceived depth. An image region is seen as transparent if it is of intermediate luminance relative to adjacent image regions, and if it is perceived in front of another region and has a boundary which provides information that an object is visible through this region. Yet, transparency is not just the passive end-product of th...
متن کاملLaminar cortical dynamics of 3D surface perception: Stratification, transparency, and neon color spreading
The 3D LAMINART neural model is developed to explain how the visual cortex gives rise to 3D percepts of stratification, transparency, and neon color spreading in response to 2D pictures and 3D scenes. Such percepts are sensitive to whether contiguous image regions have the same contrast polarity and ocularity. The model predicts how like-polarity competition at V1 simple cells in layer 4 may ca...
متن کاملA comment on "assimilation of achromatic color cannot explain the brightness effects in the achromatic neon effect" by Marc K Albert.
in the achromatic neon effect'' by Marc K Albertô Albert (1998) describes a number of visual displays, which he uses to argue against current models of neon color spreading. He particularly emphasizes models which I and my colleagues have developed. He erroneously concludes that our models cannot explain the percepts that are generated by these displays. I am writing to set the record straight....
متن کاملNeon color spreading in dynamic displays: temporal factors.
When a red star is placed in the middle of an Ehrenstein figure so as to be collinear with the surrounding black rays, a reddish veil is perceived to fill the white center. This is called neon color spreading. To better understand the processes that give rise to this phenomenon, we studied the temporal properties of the effect. Specifically, we presented a "sustained" black Ehrenstein figure (r...
متن کاملThe watercolor illusion and neon color spreading: a unified analysis of new cases and neural mechanisms.
Coloration and figural properties of neon color spreading and the watercolor illusion are studied using phenomenal and psychophysical observations. Coloration properties of both effects can be reduced to a common limiting condition, a nearby color transition called the two-dot limiting case, which clarifies their perceptual similarities and dissimilarities. The results are explained by the FACA...
