Contrast to AssimilationTest Targets

 
 



Figure 24.1 (left) The “1346” segmented test target; (right) diagram of the nomenclature . This display has 3% luminance in the 1, 3, 4, 6 segments, hence its name. The center [c] and the background were 17% maximum luminance. The surround was segmented into 8 elements, numbered clockwise starting at the top center. Each surround segment was either 100% or 3%.

Figure 24.3 Matching data for all 56-surround arrays. The vertical axis plots the relative log luminance of observer’s matches. The icon for the all-white surround is placed at 0.23, and the icon for the black surround match is placed at 0.85 on the axis to illustrate the range of possible matches. The horizontal axis identifies the segmented surround. The data have been sorted so that the number of black elements increases from left to right. In each group the data is ordered by average log matching luminance.
