Foreground objects can achieve constant luminance perception through context-sensitive formulas.
תקציר
The article presents a framework for developing context-sensitive luminance correction formulas to achieve constant luminance perception for foreground objects. The formulas involve making the foreground object slightly translucent to blend with the background, allowing for the creation of desired luminance illusions. The structure of the translucency formulas is identified as a power function, with a focus on the relative size of the foreground object. An interactive program in Shadertoy was implemented to determine the coefficients of the polynomials used in the formulas. The article also discusses the evolutionary basis of luminance perception and the simplicity of the perceptual process in primitive visual systems. The method aims to provide a simple yet meaningful explanation for luminance perception, allowing users to adjust the polynomial part of the formula to achieve their desired luminance perception.

"Our vision system has evolved into equations 1 and 2. In other words, we believe that all animals can have a similar structure in their visual system since this appears to be the simplest structure that can emerge through an evolutionary process." - Authors
