Examining Visual Masking in Target Aquisition Uning Two-dimensional Fourier Analysis TechniquesOlacsi, Gary Stephen 21 August 2001 (has links)
Spatial vision refers to a general class of perceptual capabilities that allows people to see the structure of objects within an image or visual scene. For example, spatial vision underlies people's abilities to discriminate important objects (or so-called "targets") from less important "background" objects. Spatial vision capabilities, however, are not fixed or unaffected by the physical characteristics of the scene objects. Objects with similar shape, color, or size, for example, are more difficult to perceive than objects differing physically from one another. Likewise, targets surrounded by many physically similar background objects are more difficult to perceive than targets silhouetted against uniformly intensity and uncluttered scene areas (Toet, 1996).
The capabilities and limitations of visual target perception have been challenging to study scientifically because the number of variations in targets and backgrounds is large, if not intractable. Thus, the determination of causal relationships between physical properties of objects and human perception of those objects has been limited to relatively simple phenomena, such as the minimum size and luminance contrast needed for visual detection. This dissertation was directed at establishing ways to improve the prediction of target perception performance.
Specifically, this research was motivated by the idea that contemporary theories of spatial vision, as well as contemporary digital image analysis techniques, may provide a unified means of classifying the physical properties of targets and backgrounds in real-world scenes. If a unified schema exists or can be derived, the functional relationships between perceptual capabilities and the myriad combinations of target and background properties may be understood and predicted better than that allowed by extant visual psychophysical theories. With this objective, the present work begins the examination of using the quantitative stimulus descriptions of visual masking paradigms as a way to develop a framework for understanding target perception; specifically, target detection and recognition of objects in real-world scenes, such as those relevant to military target acquisition.
Visual masking is a psychophysical phenomenon that occurs when "noise" or background (i.e., non-information bearing) objects degrade an observer's ability to perceive target (i.e., task-relevant) objects. Masking occurs because the human eye-brain system processes background features in a manner that degrades (masks) the processing of target features. One example of this phenomenon in military operations is camouflage. Camouflage decreases target visibility by masking target structure and intensity.
Psychophysical visual masking studies often employ simple (non-real world) targets and masking stimuli, such as one-dimensional spatial frequency patterns (Wilson, 1995; Wilson, McFarlane & Phillips, 1983; Yang & Stevenson, 1998). A one-dimensional spatial frequency pattern usually consists of a sine- or square-wave grating pattern; that is, the luminance variations in the stimuli oscillate across one dimension of spatial extent. These grating patterns are hypothesized to excite the human visual mechanisms responsible for initial encoding and processing of visual scenes. In this manner, the grating patterns represent a simplification of real-world visual scenes, which are at least two-dimensional (i.e., left-right and up-down dimensions) in spatial (and spatial frequency) content.
Past psychophysical research has justified the use of one-dimensional spatial frequency patterns on the basis that more realistic two-dimensional patterns require extensive computational resources. However, with today's affordable computing machines, researchers can implement methodologies readily to explore and exploit the two-dimensional nature of visual imagery, especially the perception of digital images.
To begin investing two-dimensional visual processes in target acquisition, it is necessary to establish the existence and functional characteristics of two-dimensional masking phenomena. This dissertation first discusses a preliminary effort to establish a methodology to glean some information on two-dimensional masking effects. Specifically, Experiment 1 provided direct evidence for the existence of masking in the two-dimensional spatial frequency domain. Experiment 2 then demonstrated some functional effects on real-world target perception due to deliberate suppression of selected two-dimensional spatial frequency structure. Lastly, Experiments 3 and 4 extended the findings of the first two experiments using real-world targets and backgrounds.
The findings of this dissertation extend existing knowledge on visual masking phenomena into the realm of two-dimensional spatial frequency targets and masking fields, as well as provide a foundation for designing and interpreting more advanced studies of two-dimensional spatial frequency masking effects that may moderate visual target acquisition performance. / Ph.

Estimativa do expoente de Hurst, por meio da transformada Wavelet, de séries temporais de precipitação de chuvas das regiões climáticas do estado de São Paulo no período de 1978 a 1997 /Salomão, Luiz Roberto. January 2006 (has links)
Orientador: José Roberto Campanha / Banca: Hari Mohan Gupta / Banca: Roberto Nicolau Onody / Resumo: Este trabalho pode ser separado em duas partes. Na primeira apresentamos, de forma resumida, a natureza fractal das séries de precipitação de chuvas, a estimativa do expoente de Hurst (H), a transformada wavelet, o seu uso na estimativa de H e a comprovação, por meio de testes com séries de movimento browniano fracionário geradas com H estabelecido a priori, que temos um bom método para estimar H com a transformada wavelet. Na segunda parte é feita uma análise das séries temporais de precipitação de chuvas (séries de chuva). As séries de chuvas foram obtidas junto ao Departamento de Águas e Energia Elétrica (DAEE) do estado de São Paulo e são constituídas de medições diárias, em milímetros, da quantidade de chuva em postos meteorológicos distribuídos em todo o estado. Algumas séries apresentam ausências de medições que acabam transformando uma série longa em duas ou mais séries menores. Em função disso foi estabelecido um procedimento que permite aproveitar essas séries com ausências (dias sem medições) para estimar o expoente de Hurst. A partir de considerações climáticas o estado foi dividido em nove regiões. Foram selecionadas séries com 20 anos de registros de chuva (de janeiro de 1978 a dezembro de 1997). Dos valores de H encontrados foi feita uma média para cada região climática do estado de São Paulo. / Abstract: This work can be separated into two parts. In the first part is briefly presented the fractal nature of the rain precipitation series, the estimate of the Hurst exponent (H), the wavelet transform, its use in the estimate of H and the evidence, by tests with generated series of fractional brownian motion with H established a priori, that we have a good method to estimate H with wavelet transform. In the second part an analysis of rain precipitation series is made. The rain series had been obtained from the Departmento de Águas e Energia Elétrica (DAEE) of the state of São Paulo and contain daily measurements, in milimeters, of the amount of rain in distributed meteorological stations all over the state. Some series present absences of measurements, transforming a long series into two or more lesser series. A procedure was established, allowing to use these series with absences (days with no measurements) to estimate the Hurst exponent. From climatic considerations the state was divided into nine regions. The regions with rain data over a period of 20 years have been selected as rain series (from january 1978 to december 1997). From the several values of H, we computed an averaged value of H for each climatic regions of the state of São Paulo. / Mestre
