Abstract

We compare two versions of two known phenomena, the <i>Curvature blindness</i> and the <i>Kite mesh</i> illusions, to highlight how similar manipulations lead to blindness to curvature and blindness to illusory curvature, respectively. The critical factor is a change in luminance polarity; this factor interferes with the computation of curvature along the contour, for both real and illusory curvature.
