Квадраты А и B - одного цвета.
Full Version: Свет и тени ...
Зашел тут у нас с Zxx разговор про контраст и тени. И вспомнили про одну старую иллюзию, которую видели, как чуть позже выяснилось, не все. Те кто не видел - оцените:
Квадраты А и B - одного цвета.
Квадраты А и B - одного цвета.
нефига не понял
2Кеб, хз как это. В фотошопе так и есть - пипеткой один и тот же цвет показывает. Хотя хз, но может мона как-нить обмануть такое дело...
сказано же - иллюзия=) оно же оптический обман 
Зхх, ты в это веришь? Я лично нет. Ну показывает фотошоп, ну и что? Просто как такое может быть? Чтобы два по цвету разных квадрата были одинаковыми. Вон тень от цилиндра вапще какая-то не какая..
конечно верю. не понимаю чего все разом в дипрессию впали.
этот эффект очень часто используется в 2д и 3д графике, просто не так парадоксально это выглядит. кстати, известен он не один век.

вообще я малость фигею с ваше реакции. раньше все, что не могли объяснить - списывали на фотошоп. а тут бац: и фотожоп не виноват, и всеравно непонятно.
Why does the illusion work?
The visual system needs to determine the color of objects in the world. In this case the problem is to determine the gray shade of the checks on the floor. Just measuring the light coming from a surface (the luminance) is not enough: a cast shadow will dim a surface, so that a white surface in shadow may be reflecting less light than a black surface in full light. The visual system uses several tricks to determine where the shadows are and how to compensate for them, in order to determine the shade of gray "paint" that belongs to the surface.
The first trick is based on local contrast. In shadow or not, a check that is lighter than its neighboring checks is probably lighter than average, and vice versa. In the figure, the light check in shadow is surrounded by darker checks. Thus, even though the check is physically dark, it is light when compared to its neighbors. The dark checks outside the shadow, conversely, are surrounded by lighter checks, so they look dark by comparison.
A second trick is based on the fact that shadows often have soft edges, while paint boundaries (like the checks) often have sharp edges. The visual system tends to ignore gradual changes in light level, so that it can determine the color of the surfaces without being misled by shadows. In this figure, the shadow looks like a shadow, both because it is fuzzy and because the shadow casting object is visible.
The "paintness" of the checks is aided by the form of the "X-junctions" formed by 4 abutting checks. This type of junction is usually a signal that all the edges should be interpreted as changes in surface color rather than in terms of shadows or lighting.
As with many so-called illusions, this effect really demonstrates the success rather than the failure of the visual system. The visual system is not very good at being a physical light meter, but that is not its purpose. The important task is to break the image information down into meaningful components, and thereby perceive the nature of the objects in view.

Кто не верит: возьмите листок бумаги, делательно потолще, сделайте две дырки так, что бы через них можно было видеть только эти два квадрата и приложить к монитору (дырками на квадраты естессно). Вуаля! Цвета одинаковые
