Depth Propagation

A novel kind of depth-spreading effect which should be distinguished in various aspects from the known interpolation, averaging, or ‘filling-in’ phenomena is reported. The demonstrations and experiments suggest that depth from an uncrossed disparity can be extrapolated from, not just interpolated between, illusory or real contours to form perceptually a background surface. In addition, the form of the illusory contour itself could be drastically changed in configuration and sharpness, contingently with perceptual background-surface formation. No such effects of surface and contour formation were observed in the crossed disparity case. Because the illusory contours were enhanced and perceived as illusory ‘occluding contours’, these effects may be closely related to the ‘occlusion constraints’ in the real world.

Affect from mere perception: Illusory contour perception feels good.

As If

The human visual system sees an illusory contour where there is a fault line across a regular striped pattern. We demonstrate that bees respond as if they see the same illusory contour. There is also a type of neuron in the lobula of the dragonfly optic lobe which responds directionally to motion of the illusory contour as if to an edge or line. Apparently insects have a mechanism that sees illusory contours and therefore assists in the demarcation of edges and objects at places where local contrast falls to zero at an edge, or where one textured object partially obscures another. These results suggest that insect vision, although spatially crude and low in processing power, sees separate objects by similar mechanisms to our own.
