These findings appear to be
but a special case of a broader
principle. That principle
concerns how the edge between
regions is perceived. Recent
evidence suggests that the
perceptual system only picks up
the information about
luminance difference at the
edge between regions and then
"assumes" that the difference
at the edge applies throughout a
region until another edge
occurs. The evidence
furthermore suggests that the
perceptual system sorts the
various edges in a scene into
two categories: those in which
the luminance ratio is based on
lightness differences and those
in which it is based on
illumination differences. Once
the two types of edges are sorted
out, only the ratios from the
entire set of regions between
which there are surface-
lightness edges enter into the
determination of specific
lightness values. The
illumination edges do not enter
into this computation.
