The Difference

The human visual system exaggerates the difference between the tilts of adjacent lines or grating patches. In addition to this tilt illusion, we found that oblique flanks reduced acuity for small changes of tilt in the centre of the visual field. However, no flanks—regardless of their tilts—decreased sensitivity to contrast. Thus, the foveal tilt illusion should not be attributed to orientation-selective lateral inhibition. Nor is it similar to conventional crowding, which typically does not impair letter recognition in the fovea. Our observers behaved as though the reference orientation (horizontal) had a small tilt in the direction of the flanks. We suggest that the extent of this re-calibration varies randomly over trials, and we demonstrate that this stochastic re-calibration can explain flank-induced acuity loss in the fovea.

Enhancement Algorithm

Aiming at infrared images' disadvantages such as low contrast and blur edges, an infrared image enhancement algorithm using lateral inhibition of human visual system (HVS) is proposed. The algorithm makes use of the rapid decline properties of exponential function to reconstruct lateral inhibition coefficient distribution model based on exponential function, which could provide an obvious inhibition function and produce strong contrast between sharp edge and even part. The experimental results show that image edges are obviously highlighted, and the edge enhancement is 2 times compared with traditional balanced spacing density of gray-scale, and the PSNR is 2 times compared with traditional histogram equalization method.
