Title
Informing Computer Vision with Optical Illusions.
Abstract
Illusions are fascinating and immediately catch peopleu0027s attention and interest, but they are also valuable in terms of giving us insights into human cognition and perception. A good theory of human perception should be able to explain the illusion, and a correct theory will actually give quantifiable results. We investigate here the efficiency of a computational filtering model utilised for modelling the lateral inhibition of retinal ganglion cells and their responses to a range of Geometric Illusions using isotropic Differences of Gaussian filters. This study explores the way in which illusions have been explained and shows how a simple standard model of vision based on classical receptive fields can predict the existence of these illusions as well as the degree of effect. A fundamental contribution of this work is to link bottom-up processes to higher level perception and cognition consistent with Marru0027s theory of vision and edge map representation.
