The effect of 3D structure on motion segmentation.

Abstract:

:A smooth surface imaged on the retina produces a smooth flow field. Thus, the visual system may group regions of smoothly varying flow to segment surfaces. We tested this idea by having observers perform a segmentation task on several stimuli that differed in their 3D interpretations but were all matched in the smoothness of their 2D flow fields. Performance varied across conditions with the best performance occurring when the stimulus stimulated a rigid plane. This result suggests that while observers may use deviations from smoothness to segment a broad class of motion stimuli, they use a more precise strategy to segment stimuli with a familiar 3D interpretation.

  • Quantifying object salience by equating distractor effects.

    abstract::It is commonly believed that objects viewed in certain contexts may be more or less salient. Measurements of salience have usually relied on asking observers "How much does this object stand out against the background?". In this study, we measured the salience of objects by assessing the distraction they produce for s...
