Natural scene statistics mediate the perception of image complexity
Humans are sensitive to complexity and regularity in patterns. The subjective perception of pattern complexity is correlated to algorithmic (Kolmogorov-Chaitin) complexity as defined in computer science, but also to the frequency of naturally occurring patterns. However, the possible mediational role of natural frequencies in the perception of algorithmic complexity remains unclear. Here we reanalyze Hsu et al. (2010) through a mediational analysis, and complement their results in a new experiment. We conclude that human perception of complexity seems partly shaped by natural scenes statistics, thereby establishing a link between the perception of complexity and the effect of natural scene statistics.

MAMIQA: No-Reference Image Quality Assessment Based on Multiscale Attention Mechanism With Natural Scene Statistics
No-Reference Image Quality Assessment aims to evaluate the perceptual quality of an image, according to human perception. Many recent studies use Transformers to assign different self-attention mechanisms to distinguish …
Image Quality AssessmentNo-Reference Image Quality AssessmentSignificance of Natural Scene Statistics in Understanding the Anisotropies of Perceptual Filling-in at the Blind Spot
Psychophysical experiments reveal our horizontal preference in perceptual filling-in at the blind spot. On the other hand, vertical preference is exhibited in the case of tolerance in filling-in. What causes this anisotr…
A Biologically Plausible Model for Rapid Natural Scene Identification
Contrast statistics of the majority of natural images conform to a Weibull distribution. This property of natural images may facilitate efficient and very rapid extraction of a scenes visual gist. Here we investigate whe…
EEGElectroencephalogram (EEG)Visual Noise from Natural Scene Statistics Reveals Human Scene Category Representations
Our perceptions are guided both by the bottom-up information entering our eyes, as well as our top-down expectations of what we will see. Although bottom-up visual processing has been extensively studied, comparatively l…
Neural Networks Trained on Natural Scenes Exhibit Gestalt Closure
The Gestalt laws of perceptual organization, which describe how visual elements in an image are grouped and interpreted, have traditionally been thought of as innate despite their ecological validity. We use deep-learnin…
