Abstract

Scale-invariant constraints on reflectances that together comprise a translucent/transparent sheet over a patchwork matte background are shown to be equivalent to the scale-invariant constraints emerging from Metelli's [1] model of transparency perception. If the visual system has access only to inseparable products of reflectance and illuminant intensity, these scaleinvariant rules are the only ones assessable by the visual system. Having been thus physically and informationally justified, the rules are recommended for use in pattern recognition of translucent objects on a background. Generalization of these ideas to colored translucency is also discussed.
