Effect of spatial scale and background luminance on the intensive and spatial nonlinearities in texture segregation

Perceived segregation between element-arrangement textures is affected both by spatial scale and background luminance. The effects on the spatial nonlinearity are consistent with the proposed structure for complex (second-order) channels. The effects on the intensive nonlinearity are not consistent with an early, local nonlinearity but are consistent with either (i) a relatively early, local, nonlinearity occurring before the spatial frequency channels but after a sensitivity-setting stage, or (ii) inhibitory interaction among channels modeled as a normalization network. Thus the texture intensive nonlinearity comes after sensitivity to spatial frequency and background luminance has been determined. For six of seven observers, the texture intensive nonlinearity was compressive by 10% contrast for both increments and decrements (at high background luminance, large spatial scale.
