Lightness perception is the perception of achromatic surface colors: black, white, and
shades of grey. Lightness has long been a central research topic in experimental …

In the phenomenon of simultaneous brightness contrast, two patches, one on a dark
background and the other on a light one, appear to have different brightness despite being …

Lightness (the perceived dimension running from black to white) represents a problem for
vision science because the light coming to the eye from an object totally fails to specify the …

Illusions are important 'tools' in the study of perceptual processes. Their conception is
typically linked to the notion of veridicality in a dual-world framework, in which we either see …

Lightness perception is the ability to perceive black, white, and gray surface colors in a wide
range of lighting conditions and contexts. This ability is fundamental for any biological or …

To maintain color constancy, the human visual system must distinguish surface reflectance-
based variations in wavelength and luminance from variations due to illumination. Edge …

Recent theories of lightness perception assume that lightness (perceived reflectance) is
computed by a process that contrasts the target's luminance with that of one or more regions …

Lightness perception has mainly been studied with static scenes so far. This study presents
four experiments investigating lightness perception under dynamic illumination conditions …

In classical assimilation effects, intermediate luminance patches appear lighter when their
immediate surround is comprised of white patches and appear darker when their immediate …

Lately the virtual reality (VR) techniques were applied successfully to investigate 3D visual
perception. In our study the effects of 2D vs. 3D displays on lightness perception was …
