Lightness


 
HDR Publications
Collection of High-Dynamic-Range experiments

Top-Down vs. Bottom-Up Vision
Appearance or Perceptual Recognition

Assimilation
Is Assimilation the same mechanism as Contrast?
Analysis of both Local Maxima and. Multi-resolution Processing

Illumination
Do visual mechanisms process illumination the same as reflectance?

Gradients, Sinewaves & Edges
Experiments on the visibility threshold and matching appearances of gradients and very low-spatial frequency sinusoids. They are very different from edges.
