Abstract

There are some kinds of color appearance mode: luminous color mode, surface color mode and so on. Translucent color mode is also a kind of them. For example, when we look a colored object or a colored light through a frosted glass, we perceive a translucent color. In this mode, it is different from other modes that a plural color perception is caused by visual system. Therefore it is suggested that translucent perception relates to functions of higher level in color vision. The purpose of this work is to analyze the mechanism of translucent perception by simulating translucent colors with binocular parallax.
