Local masking in natural images: a database and analysis.

abstract：:A common finding in oddity search, a search in which the target is unknown but defined to be different from the distractors, is that human performance remains insensitive or even improves with number of distractors (set size). A number of explanations based on perceptual and attentional mechanisms have been proposed t...

abstract：:Rapid category detection, as discovered by S. Thorpe, D. Fize, and C. Marlot (1996), demonstrated that the human visual system can detect object categories in natural images in as little as 150 ms. To gain insight into this phenomenon and to determine its relevance to naturally occurring conditions, we degrade the sti...

For example, a column pops out if it contains element bars orthogonal to uniformly oriented element bars.
