- Hi,
- I am looking at responses of Gabor filters to ramp edges, something like this:

- Sorry if your font gives something weird, I mean of course an edge defined by a plateau
- meeting a ramp.
- Quite interesting, but also very complicated analytically. Might give a new explanation of
- the Mach band effect. For this I need references to papers about the EXACT POSITION of
- incremental and decremental bands, not about increm/decrem thresholds etc.
- I found a few papers by Lowry and DePalma, Fiorentini, and also McCollough, but all way
- back in the 50- and 60-ties.
- Does someone know whether there exist more recent and perhaps more precise data on
- the exact positions of the perceived extrema relative to the edge position? Whether the
- extrema are located at the edge or systematically shifted towards the plateau or ramp
- side? And the influence of edge blur (when the ideal ramp edge is blurred by a Gaussian
- lowpass filter. This is very important.
- Thanks,
- Hans
