We show that image uncertainty affects measured human variability, and it influences how participants weigh different visual features.

We apply our method by measuring the perceptual scale associated to the interpolation parameter in human observers, and the neural sensitivity of different areas of visual cortex in macaque monkeys.

Following this hypothesis, we propose a probabilistic generative model of visual segmentation that combines knowledge about 1) the sensitivity of neurons in the visual cortex to statistical regularities in natural images; and 2) the preference of humans to form contiguous partitions of visual space.

A central hypothesis about early visual processing is that it represents inputs in a coordinate system matched to the statistics of natural scenes.
