Texture perception uses three local-feature types {texton}: elongated blobs {line segment, texton}, blob ends {end-point}, and blob crossings {texture, texton}. Visual-cortex simple and complex cells detect elongated blobs, terminators, and crossings.
search
Texture perception searches in parallel for texton type and density changes.
attention
Texture discrimination precedes attention.
For texton changes, brain calls attention processes.
similarity
If elongated blobs are same, because blob terminators total same number, texture is same.
statistics
Brain uses first-order texton statistics, such as texton type changes and density gradients, in texture perception.
