Optical Illusions

Here's a really, really good one.

The Ames Window.

Re: Optical Illusions

I saw that, I could handle the tapered cut piece oscillating, it was playing with my senses but I could rationalize what was happening.
But when they started sticking things through well it was too much to understand.

Re: Optical Illusions

Right!

But, it was *not* oscillating, that was mah brane oscillating.  Even seeing it with the tiny Rubik's Cube I was still fooled.  I just could not see it rotating when viewed from the "privileged perspective".  Impossible.

Re: Optical Illusions

For the big one on the porch at about 12:00, I was able to perceive the short end passing in front for a second, but lost it as soon as it went behind the bar.

Re: Optical Illusions

Very cool. It's like that little dragon illusion but not a dragon and not little. Otherwise, it's very similar.


Hey! That's me up there!

Re: Optical Illusions

Artificial intelligence tricked by optical illusion, just like humans



In this research, the DNNs were trained with natural-scene videos of motion from the point of view of the viewer. The motion prediction ability of the obtained computer model was then verified using a rotating propeller in unlearned videos and the “Rotating Snake Illusion” (image above).

The computer model accurately predicted the magnitude and direction of motion of the rotating propeller in the unlearned videos. Surprisingly, it also represented the rotational motion for the illusion images that were not physically moving — much like human visual perception. While the trained network accurately reproduced the direction of illusory rotation, it did not detect motion components in negative control pictures wherein people do not perceive illusory motion.

Re: Optical Illusions

intense visual effect, I'm running this through some filters and it's interesting what pops out of that pattern

Re: Optical Illusions

This is an interesting illusion.  At first I thought it was just an advertisement for teh Google.  But that was just the distortion of my tears obscuring my view of my brothers and sisters.

Can you see the difference?

Re: Optical Illusions

The Google piece is an easy two minutes.
There are many more on line.

here I just applied a slight gaussian blur, median filter, and gamma adjustment


I think it's intersting when basic filter algorithms can "see" the optical illusion

I think I need about three kinds of therapy.  I'll send you the bill.

Re: Optical Illusions

The more I think about those ten award winners the more I realize that they are different from traditional optical illusions, which rely on the wiring of the eye and brain. 
These are more in the realm of video trickery, which is OK but is more invented than discovered.
There are other versions of the hand manipulation in the mirror that really make one think about perception;  I'll try to find some and post.

Re: Optical Illusions

Only 4 of them rely on the fixed-single-camera position.  The other 6 all are brain wiring.  4 is still a bit high,but it's not even a majority.

There are 4 of them huh?  They have those sharp beaks and attack him taking chunks out of him and his blood fills the water in a big pink cloud.
