Top-down effects on translucency perception in relation to shape cues.

ABSTRACT: It is well established that object shape perception significantly influences the perception of translucency. However, how object shape cues such as motion and binocular disparity affect the perception of translucency in rich environments, like virtual reality or real visual environments, remains unclear. This study aims to psychophysically measure the extent to which multiple object shape cues influence the perception of translucency. Additionally, we examined whether top-down factors, such as changes in cognitive attitude caused by the sequence of experiments, affect translucency perception. The results revealed that while motion and binocular disparity enhance translucency perception, this effect is confined to situations where shape cues are poor. Moreover, the effect became particularl
