Abstract

A small object in front of a textured background usually escapes (monocular) detection and discrimination by a human observer. When the object texture consists of the same (or similar, see [2]) structure as the background’s texture, monocular discrimination is impossible. If, however, the two textures move relative to each other, the object is easily discriminated against the background. Fig. 1 sketches this phenomenon.
