The illegal distribution of a digital movie is a common and significant threat to the film
industry. With the advent of high-speed broadband Internet access, a pirated copy of a …

A quarter of a century ago, the first systematic behavioral experiments were performed to
clarify the nature of color constancy—the effect whereby the perceived color of a surface …

Computational color constancy is a fundamental prerequisite for many computer vision
applications. This paper presents a survey of many recent developments and state-of-the-art …

We gathered hyperspectral images of natural, foliage-dominated scenes and converted
them to human cone quantal catches to characterize the second-order redundancy present …

In this research, we aim to ground scene recognition on information other than the identity of
component objects. Specifically we seek to understand the structure of color cues that allows …

The jawless fish that were ancestral to all living vertebrates had four spectral cone types that
were probably served by chromatic-opponent retinal circuits. Subsequent evolution of …

We present an algorithm for separating the shading and reflectance images of
photographed natural scenes. The algorithm exploits the constraint that in natural scenes …

For some sets of surfaces, the spatial ratios of cone-photoreceptor excitations produced by
light reflected from pairs of surfaces are almost invariant under illuminant changes. These …

In 3 experiments the authors used a new contextual bias paradigm to explore how quickly
information is extracted from a scene to activate gist, whether color contributes to this …

Kirschfeld (1976) suggested that visual acuity is directly proportional to body length across a
wide range of animal species. A survey of eye size, visual acuity and body size of birds and …
