In theorizing about perception, philosophers have often multiplied qualities. To perceptible qualities of external objects, like colors and shapes (‘sensible’ qualities), have been added qualities of experiences (‘sensory’ qualities) or of sense-data (‘sensational’ qualities). Start with sensory qualities. The phrase ‘sensory quality’ is not much in use these days, having lost out to ‘phenomena...

Scene understanding addresses the issue of “what a scene contains”. Existing research on scene understanding is typically focused on classifying a scene into classes that are of the same category type. These approaches, although they solve some scene-understanding tasks successfully, in general fail to address the semantics in scene understanding. For example, how does an agent learn the concep...

The aim of this paper is to propose a new method for building a fuzzy partition on multi-dimensional spaces. This method is apply for creating fuzzy symbolic sensors which use multi-component measurements. Colour sensing is an interesting perception to apply this method. Indeed, men have good control on this sensing but can not explain it simply. Then, the fuzzy colour sensor can learn human pe...

Localizing text regions in images taken from natural scenes is one of the challenging problems dueto variations in font, size, color and orientation of text. In this paper, we introduce a new concept socalled Edge Color Signature for localizing text regions in an image. This method is able to localizeboth Farsi and English texts. In the proposed method rst a pyramid using diff...

The objective of this paper is to ascertain contemporary Italian linguistic categorization of the macro-color concept BLUE, and compare the results to English interpretation of the same tasks. Native Italian speakers affirm that they habitually use three blue color terms: blu, azzurro, and celeste; often idealizing azzurro over blu, as being “more Italian”. I propose that according to the task ...

Recorded color images differ from direct human viewing by the lack of dynamic range compression and color constancy. Research is summarized which develops the center/surround retinex concept originated by Edwin Land through a singlescale design to a multi-scale design with color restoration (MSRCR). The MSRCR synthesizes dynamic range compression, color constancy, and color rendition and, there...

Color is a critical part of objects representation as well as critical cue for recognizing objects. However, it is less clear how people represent color in memory. The present study aimed at investigating this issue. We designed a procedure based on short-term sensory memory load procedure mixed with a color-priming paradigm. Participants learned three visual stimuli (either non-words – lexical...
