    This study introduces a novel random-dot texture generation method offering precise statistical control over n-grams. This technique isolates n-gram influences on texture discrimination, advancing visual perception research.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Vision
    • Perceptual Psychology
    • Image Processing

    Background:

    • Texture discrimination is crucial for visual perception.
    • Existing methods lack fine-grained statistical control over texture elements.
    • Understanding the role of spatial statistics in texture perception is an ongoing challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a method for generating random-dot textures with controlled n-gram statistics.
    • To enable the isolation of specific n-gram influences on texture discrimination.
    • To investigate the impact of different n-gram lengths on visual perception.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel algorithm for random-dot texture synthesis.
    • Statistical analysis of adjacent point configurations (n-grams).

  • Experimental manipulation of n-gram constraints to control texture properties.

    • Main Results:

    • The method allows precise statistical control of any n-gram length.
    • Texture discrimination is primarily influenced by short-span statistics (n<3), regulating gray level and spatial frequency.
    • Longer-span statistics (n>=3) can also affect discrimination by modifying spatial-frequency distribution.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method provides a powerful tool for studying texture perception.
    • Short-span statistics are key regulators of perceived texture properties.
    • Further research can utilize this method to explore the nuanced relationship between spatial statistics and visual discrimination.
