Abstract:
:The aim in the experiments was to examine whether the detection of structure-from-motion (SFM) in noise was facilitated when target and noise were segregated by colour and/or luminance polarity. The SFM target was a rotating 'V-shape' structure simulated with limited-lifetime Gaussian micropatterns and embedded in random-motion noise. Threshold levels of V-shape slant were measured for stimuli in which target and noise were segregated or unsegregated by colour/luminance, and under two conditions, with and without static form cues to the SFM target. The presence or absence of static form cues to the SFM target was manipulated by varying the relative numbers of micropatterns in target and noise. In the absence of static form cues, segregation of target and noise by colour and/or luminance polarity did not facilitate target detection, even when subjects knew which micropatterns belonged to the target. On the other hand, when static form cues were present, segregation improved performance. These results imply that SFM processing is 'form-cue invariant' except when the target form is immediately identifiable in the static view of the stimulus. The significance of the results for understanding the role of colour vision in breaking camouflage and in 'grouping' is discussed.
