Brightness induction is the modulation of the perceived intensity of an area by the luminance
of surrounding areas. Recent neurophysiological evidence suggests that brightness …

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 …

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 …

A glare source in the visual field modifies the brightness of a test patch surrounded by a
mesopic background. In this study, we investigated the effect of two levels of transient glare …

Esta tesis investiga dos aspectos diferentes sobre cómo un observador percibe una imagen
natural:(i) dónde miramos o, concretamente, qué nos atrae la atención, y (ii) qué nos gusta …

After a decade of huge progress in computer vision using at processing schemes, new
architectures based on deep hierarchies [1] are currently gaining strength in the field. This …
