Experiment 1Experiment 1
ResultsResultsThe face was more evident in frame 1, but The face was more evident in frame 1, but started to become difficult by frame 5, and started to become difficult by frame 5, and was totally gone by frame 9…gradation effectwas totally gone by frame 9…gradation effect
ConclusionConclusionShape-from-shadow perception becomes Shape-from-shadow perception becomes difficult as luminosity of the shadowed region difficult as luminosity of the shadowed region becomes higher than the luminosity of the becomes higher than the luminosity of the shadow bordershadow border
