Edge Detection
 
An image processing task that aims to find edges andcontours in images
3
Ganzfeld
 
A visual field with no contours or edges

Bottom up 
 
seeing the whole picture and breaking it down into parts
10
Top down
 
see the simple things first to make a conclusion to a whole

Version
 
the angle of both our eyes stays the sameour eyes move in the same directionie tracing the...
13
Saccade Movements
 
action of your eyes moving from one focus to another -you can only see whats on your fovea--only...
14
Scotoma
 
blind area that is caused by damage to the VC
15
Blind Spot
 
region of the eye where there is no vision because the stimulus falls on the optic disc
16
Completion Processes
 
the fill in effectour brain makes up for the part that our eye doesn't see
17
Acuity 
 
fine detailsneller eye chart 20/20
18
Lightness Constancy
 
our perception of lightness constantly changes so we can percieve objects the same under different...
19
Superimposed Spatial Freq.
 
sinusodial grating, blurry lines as opposed to stripes
20
Contrast Sensitivity
 
ability to detect differences in light reflected from 2 edges
21
Gestalt Approach
 
we percieve objects as wholes, rather than separate isolated parts
22
Gestalt Laws
 
Proximity (grouping near)Similarity Good Continuation (straight line or smooth curve)Closure...
23
Figure/Ground
 
figure is the distinct shape with distinct edgesground is whatever is leftover --the backgroundthe...
24
Limits to Gestalt
 
We observe with subjection
25
Illusory Conjunction
 
When we mistakenly group objects together because of visual confusion
26
Prototypic Theory of Object Perception
 
we see shapes more quickly if they're a protoype (a general pattern of a structure) ie: dog,...
27
Template Matching 
 
Lock and key template matching...if it doesn't match our exact template in our memory we search...
28
Illusory/Subjective Contours
 
We see edges or lines even when theyre not there
29
Backward Masking
 
The inability to percieve something por que of a second stimulus presents quickly after
30
Thatcher Illusion
 
when we are use to seeing things one way, when the orientation is changed we have a harder...
31
Trident Illusion
 
Shape Constancy
32
Shape Constancy
 
when you change the angle which you view something you still know what shape it is
33
color constancy
 
when in the dark we still know red is red
34
Size Constancy
 
when someone walks away from you you still know how big they are
35
Why do illusions typcially occur under unsual viewing conditions
 
because they take away contextual cuesatypical messes with our visual constanciescauses a misinterpretation
36
Monocular
 
movement--angle and movement gives us speed and depth (car)pictorial cues (size, shading)accomodationetc
37
Accomodation
 
curvature of lens to focus
38
Interposition
 
overlapping objects...allows you to tell what is in front of the other
39
Size Cues
 
relative size (compared to other things around)Familiar size
40
texture gradiants
 
textures become denser in the distance
41
linear perspective
 
parallel lines seem to meet in the distance5th grade art projects
42
atmospheric perspective
 
distance objects become blurry and bluish in contrast to nearby objects (ie buildings in the...
43
Height cues
 
objects near the horizon tend to be further away(triangle picture)
44
Collary Discharge theory
 
when your eyes aren't moving but you see movement then you know the object is movingwhen your...
