Conjoint measurement of perceived transparency and perceived contrast in variegated checkerboards.

ABSTRACT: One fundamental question in vision research is how the retinal input is segmented into perceptually relevant variables. A striking example of this segmentation process is transparency perception, in which luminance information in one location contributes to two perceptual variables: the properties of the transparent medium itself and of what is being seen in the background. Previous work by Robilotto et al. (2002, 2004) suggested that perceived transparency is closely related to perceived contrast, but how these two relate to retinal luminance has not been established. Here we studied the relationship between perceived transparency, perceived contrast, and image luminance using maximum likelihood conjoint measurement (MLCM). Stimuli were rendered images of variegated checkerboards that wer
