Color Transparency Effects from Mosaics of Opaque Color.

Abstract

Principles of color scission, first demonstrated by Heider in 1933, were stated by Metelli (1970, 1974) for achromatic color. Such principles, together with certain figural constraints, can form the basis of perceptual transparency effects arising from mosaics of opaque color. The work described extends Metelli's lead into full chromatic color space. An illustrative application is given of how dynamic transparency effects were implemented on a computer-driven color raster-scan display. The potential utility of such displays is discussed.
