To CVNET and VisionScienceList members:
The Modelfest group has established a database of psychophysical detection
thresholds for a group of carefully defined spatial patterns. The images
and the threshold data are available for developing new and improved models
of human vision. A common source of data available to everyone for modeling
purposes will facilitate the comparison of existing and the creation of
improved models. One of our goals is to build spatio-chromatic and
spatio-temporal standard observers, which will allow us to predict the
visible difference between pairs of images or image sequences. To this end
the database is being extended into the domains of static-chromatic and
spatio-temporal detection.
We need your help in this new data collection phase of the Modelfest
group and encourage you to join one of both of the now forming; 1)
spatio-temporal and/or 2) static-chromatic detection groups. The protocols
are being formulated, so join now, share your ideas and contribute a data
set. To join either or both groups send an email to Thom Carney at
thom@neurometrics.com (spatio-temporal group) or Sophie Wuerger at
swuerger@eos.arc.nasa.gov (static-chromatic group). Join us in the group
discussions and the new data collection effort.
