Abstract
Researchers studying visual perception have developed numerous experimental methods for probing the perceptual system. The range of techniques available to study performance near visual threshold is impressive and rapidly growing and we have a good understanding of what physical differences in visual stimuli are perceptually discriminable. A key remaining challenge for visual science is to develop models and psychophysical methods that allow us to evaluate how the visual system estimates visual appearance.
In this presentation, I'll describe methods for modeling judgments of visual appearance that go beyond simple rating methods and describe how to model them and evaluate the resulting models experimentally. In particular, I will present joint work with Sophie Wuerger and John Krauskopf developing and using a method to measure angles in color space given judgments of color proximity.
