Murray recently introduced a novel computational lightness model, Markov illuminance and
reflectance (MIR). MIR is a promising new approach that simulates human lightness …

The human visual system is not a colorimeter. The perceived colour of a region does not
only depend on its colour spectrum, but also on the colour spectra and geometric …

The present thesis deals with amplitude and sign decompositions of images via complex
wavelets. We develop the monogenic curvelet transform for the directional decomposition of …

The brain analyses the visual world through the luminance patterns that reach the retina.
Formally, luminance (as measured by the retina) is the product of illumination and …

The luminance contrast at the borders of a surface strongly influences surface's apparent
brightness, as demonstrated by a number of classic visual illusions. Such phenomena are …

Sažetak The achromatic Munker-White illusion and the Simultaneous-Contrast illusion have
been used extensively in vision studies to understand how the figural configuration of a …

Agostini and Galmonte (2002 Psychological Science, 13, 89–93), Bressan (2001 …

Visual illusions allow researchers to devise and test new models of visual perception. Here
we show that artificial neural networks trained for basic visual tasks in natural images are …

Is brightness represented in a point-for-point neural map that is filled in from the response of
small, contrast-sensitive edge detector cells? We tested for the presence of this filled-in map …

The original idea of this project was to study the role of colour in the challenging task of
object recognition. We started by extending previous research on colour naming showing …
