Cue Combination of Conflicting Color and Luminance Edges (2015)
Journal Article

Abrupt changes in the color or luminance of a visual image potentially indicate object boundaries. Here, we consider how these cues to the visual “edge” location are combined when they conflict. We measured the extent to which localization of a compo... Read More about Cue Combination of Conflicting Color and Luminance Edges.
