Reflectance, illumination, and appearance in color constancy (2014)
Journal Article
McCann, J. J., Parraman, C., & Rizzi, A. (2014). Reflectance, illumination, and appearance in color constancy. Frontiers in Psychology, 5, 1-17. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.00005

We studied color constancy using a pair of identical 3-D Color Mondrian displays. We viewed one 3-D Mondrian in nearly uniform illumination, and the other in directional, nonuniform illumination. We used the three dimensional structures to modulate t... Read More about Reflectance, illumination, and appearance in color constancy.
