Contrast inconstancy across changes in polarity.

Abstract:

:In this study, we show that negative polarity noise patterns appear to have a higher contrast than positive polarity noise patterns with identical expected Fourier amplitude spectra. This demonstrates a failure of contrast constancy over changes in pattern polarity. An examination of local contrast measures shows that negative polarity noise has a wider distribution of local contrast values than positive polarity noise. We propose that the difference in apparent contrast between the two patterns may be based upon spatial non-linearities in the combination of local contrast measures.

  • Positional uncertainty in peripheral and amblyopic vision.

    abstract::Three experiments were performed to examine positional acuity and the role of spatial sampling in central, peripheral and amblyopic vision. In the first experiment, 3-line bisection acuity was compared to grating acuity. In normal foveal vision bisection acuity represents a hyperacuity. In anisometropic amblyopes, bis...
