Contrast masking in human vision
Gordon E. Legge,John M. Foley +1 more
TL;DR: A masking model is presented that encompasses contrast detection, discrimination, and masking phenomena that includes a linear spatial frequency filter, a nonlinear transducer, and a process of spatial pooling that acts at low contrasts only.

A four mechanism model for threshold spatial vision.
Hugh R. Wilson,James R. Bergen +1 more
TL;DR: Data on the threshold visibility of spatially localized, aperiodic patterns are used to derive the properties of a general model for threshold spatial vision that quantitatively predicts the spatial modulation transfer function (cosine grating thresholds) under both sustained and transient conditions with no free parameters.

Coarse Blobs or Fine Edges? Evidence That Information Diagnosticity Changes the Perception of Complex Visual Stimuli
Aude Oliva,Philippe G. Schyns +1 more
TL;DR: This paper tests the hypothesis that scale diagnosticity can determine scale selection for recognition and suggests that a mandatory low-level registration of multiple spatial scales promotes flexible scene encodings, perceptions, and categorizations.
Book ChapterDOI
Channels in Vision: Basic Aspects
TL;DR: In mathematics it is legitimate to seek transformations through which certain quantities remain invariant, and the action of various physical devices which “recognize” or respond identically to certain simple objects can be treated in terms of such transformations.

Receptive fields, binocular interaction and functional architecture in the cat's visual cortex
David H. Hubel,Torsten N. Wiesel +1 more
TL;DR: This method is used to examine receptive fields of a more complex type and to make additional observations on binocular interaction and this approach is necessary in order to understand the behaviour of individual cells, but it fails to deal with the problem of the relationship of one cell to its neighbours.
Journal ArticleDOI
Receptive fields and functional architecture of monkey striate cortex
David H. Hubel,Torsten N. Wiesel +1 more
TL;DR: The striate cortex was studied in lightly anaesthetized macaque and spider monkeys by recording extracellularly from single units and stimulating the retinas with spots or patterns of light, with response properties very similar to those previously described in the cat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of fourier analysis to the visibility of gratings
F. W. Campbell,John G. Robson +1 more
TL;DR: The contrast thresholds of a variety of grating patterns have been measured over a wide range of spatial frequencies and the results show clear patterns of uniformity in the response to grating noise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Receptive fields and functional architecture in two nonstriate visual areas (18 and 19) of the cat.
David H. Hubel,Torsten N. Wiesel +1 more
TL;DR: To UNDERSTAND VISION in physiological terms represents a formidable problem for the biologist, and one approach is to stimulate the retina with patterns of light while recording from single cells or fibers at various points along the visual pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
The contrast sensitivity of retinal ganglion cells of the cat.
TL;DR: Spatial summation within cat retinal receptive fields was studied by recording from optic‐tract fibres the responses of ganglion cells to grating patterns whose luminance perpendicular to the bars varied sinusoidally about the mean level.
