Synopsis
Perceptual Constancy examines a group of long-standing problems in the field of perception and provides a review of the fundamentals of the problems and their solutions. Experts in several different fields--including computational vision, physiology, neuropsychology, psychophysics and comparative psychology--present their approaches to some of the fundamental problems of perception: How does the brain extract a stable world from an ever changing retinal input? How do we achieve color constancy despite changes in the wavelength content of daylight? How do we recognize objects from different viewpoints? And how do we know the sizes of those objects? The volume is divided into three sections. The first describes color constancy, the second examines size, shape and speed, and the third section is on perceptual inconstancies.

Book Description
The world is not always truly reflected in what we see. The brain creates images, fills in gaps and even at times constructs fictions. This book brings together experts from several diverse fields to present state of the art accounts of how the visual world enters two small holes in our heads and is reconstructed to give us the rich impressions of color, movement, and shape.
Review
"This interesting...volume updates research on the nature of perceptual constancies and how they arise. ...this important work should become a core reference in this area. ...the primary audience for the book will be graduate students and researchers in experimental psychology. Recommended to libraries serving these readers." Choice
"...this volume should be a valuable resource for both graduate students and researchers in visual perception. The book consists of 18 chapters that examine perceptual constancy from a variety of viewpoints. Developmental, comparative, psychophysical, psychological, and computational perspectives are represented in this collection." Journal of Mathematical Psychology
