Summary

Image filtering in visual perception can cause errors, especially with geometrical figures and illusions. Our research explains this perceptual error using the Image Function model, based on experimental findings.

Area of Science:

  • Visual perception
  • Image processing
  • Cognitive science

Background:

  • Image filtering is crucial for visual perception.
  • Previous studies suggest filtering impacts how we see shapes and patterns.
  • Understanding these effects is key to explaining visual illusions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review experimental results on image filtering and visual perception.
  • To explain perceptual errors arising from input image filtering.
  • To present the proposed Image Function model.

Main Methods:

  • Experiments on visual perception of geometrical figures.
  • Analysis of orientation in random dot patterns.
  • Investigation of visual illusions.

Main Results:

  • A threshold effect in input image filtering leads to perceptual error.
  • This error was observed in experiments with geometrical figures and random dot patterns.
  • The Image Function concept provides an explanation for these errors.

Conclusions:

  • Input image filtering significantly influences visual perception.
  • Perceptual errors can be systematically explained by the Image Function model.
  • The proposed models offer insights into visual processing mechanisms.
