The role of secondary features in serial dependence

Recent work indicates that visual features are processed in a serially dependent manner: The decision about a stimulus feature in the present is influenced by the features of stimuli seen in the past, leading to serial dependence. It remains unclear, howev ...

Hydrogel-Encased Photonic Microspheres with Enhanced Color Saturation and High Suspension Stability

Esther Amstad

Regular arrays of colloidal particles can produce striking structural colors without the need for any chemical pigments. Regular arrays of colloidal particles can be processed into microparticles via emulsion templates for use as structural colorants. Phot ...

Discomfort glare from daylight: Influence of transmitted color and the eye's macular pigment

Sneha Jain

Designing architectural façades that allow sufficient daylight to create visually comfortable and pleasant environments is a challenging aspect of building design. It requires accounting for visual comfort and discomfort glare risks and understanding the f ...

Universal Patterns in Color-Emotion Associations Are Further Shaped by Linguistic and Geographic Proximity

Amer Chamseddine, Christine Mohr, Maya Roinishvili, Ahmad Abu-Akel, Meng Zhang, Niloufar Pouyan

Many of us "see red," "feel blue," or "turn green with envy." Are such color-emotion associations fundamental to our shared cognitive architecture, or are they cultural creations learned through our languages and traditions? To answer these questions, we t ...

Color changing effects with cross-halftone prints on metal

Roger Hersch, Petar Pjanic

We propose new methods for creating color varying prints with classical cyan, magenta, yellow inks on a metallic substrate. We use a special crossline halftone with optimized surface coverages of the inks to create color prints on a metallic surface whose ...

Color changing effects with cross-halftone prints

Roger Hersch, Petar Pjanic

We propose new methods for creating color varying prints with classical cyan, magenta, yellow inks on a metallic specularly reflecting or on a white diffusely reflecting substrate. We use a special cross-line halftone with optimized surface coverages of th ...

The role of one-shot learning in #TheDress

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig

#TheDress is remarkable in two aspects. First, there is a bimodal split of the population in the perception of the dress's colors (white/gold vs. black/blue). Second, whereas interobserver variance is high, intra-observer variance is low, i. e., the percep ...

Silicon nanostructures for bright field full color prints

Jürgen Brugger, Valentin Flauraud, Miguel Arnold Reyes

Nanoscale color printing has recently emerged as a unique alternative to traditional pigments by providing record spatial resolution, angular independent, durable and single material colors. Widely based on plasmonic nanostructures, numerous efforts in the ...

The role of one-shot learning in #TheDress

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer

The first amazing effect with #TheDress is that a large number of people perceive it as white and gold even though the true colors of the dress are black and blue. Such apparent changes in color are common in many illusions. What makes #TheDress even more ...

Stable Photocatalytic Paints Prepared from Hybrid Core-Shell Fluorinated/Acrylic/TiO2 Waterborne Dispersions

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

The contamination of air and water is one of the major concerns towards the development of a sustainable world in the 21st century. In this context many efforts are devoted to the design of photocatalytic paints able to degrade chemical and biological impu ...

Semantic-Improved Color Imaging Applications: It Is All About Context

Sabine Süsstrunk, Albrecht Johannes Lindner

Multimedia data with associated semantics is omnipresent in today’s social online platforms in the form of keywords, user comments and so forth. This article presents a statistical framework designed to infer knowledge in the imaging domain from the semant ...

An Interactive Tool for Gamut Masking

Sabine Süsstrunk, Cheryl Shaulya Lau, Ying Song

Artists often want to change the colors of an image to achieve a particular aesthetic goal. For example, they might limit colors to a warm or cool color scheme to create an image with a certain mood or feeling. Gamut masking is a technique that artists use ...

Semantic Awareness for Automatic Image Interpretation

Albrecht Johannes Lindner

Finding relations between image semantics and image characteristics is a problem of long standing in computer vision and related fields. Despite persistent efforts and significant advances in the field, today’s computers are still strikingly unable to achi ...

The temporal dynamics of feature integration for color and form

Michael Herzog

When two visual stimuli are presented in rapid succession only one fused image is perceived. For example, a red disk followed by a green disk is perceived as a single yellow disk (e.g., Efron, Perc Psychophys, 1973). For two verniers that last 30ms each, i ...

Revisiting Radiometric Calibration for Color Computer Vision

Sabine Süsstrunk, Seungryong Kim, Matthew Brown

We present a study of radiometric calibration and the in-camera imaging process through an extensive analysis of more than 10,000 images from over 30 cameras. The goal is to investigate if image values can be transformed to physically meaningful values and ...

A subjective study of the influence of color information on visual quality assessment of high resolution pictures

Touradj Ebrahimi, Francesca De Simone, Frédéric Dufaux

This paper presents the design and the results of a psychovisual experiment which aims at understanding how the color information affects the perceived quality of a high resolution still picture. The results of this experiment help to shed light into the i ...

Face Image Enhancement Using 3D and Spectral Information

Sabine Süsstrunk, Charles Dubout

This paper presents a novel method of enhancing image quality of face pictures using 3D and spectral information. Most conventional techniques directly work on the image data, shifting the skin color to a predefined skin tone, and so do not take into accou ...

Formation of Boronate Ester Polymers with Efficient Intrastrand Charge Transfer Transitions by Three-Component Reactions

Rosario Scopelliti, Ursula Röthlisberger, Kay Severin, Michele Cascella, Nicolas Christinat, Emmanuel Croisier

The three-component reaction of aryl boronic acids with 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene or 4,4-bipyridine leads to the formation of dark-purple boronate ester polymers. Crystallographic analyses show that the polymer strands have ...

Configural and perceptual factors influencing the perception of color transparency

Peggy Gerardin

The mechanisms by which the brain represents colors are largely unknown. In addition, the large number of color phenomena in the natural world has made understanding color rather difficult. Color transparency perception, which is studied in this thesis, is ...
