Abstract(in English) Humans perceive an edge even for smooth luminance change. In this paper, we examine estimating the subjective edge location of a blurred pattern that has smooth luminance change and is shaped a concentric circle on a CRT. It is then maked clear that the characteristic of perception is non-linear. We propose a new model that contains non-linear transducer function for luminance and predicts a perceived edge location better than the output with a linear operator, which is the zero-crossing with simple Lapracian-Gaussian filter. We compare several kinds of non-linear transducer functions found in the mechanism of visual processing. It appears that the new models which contains a logarithmic function or an exponential function, simulates human data very well. Finally, we propose an equation that evaluates variability in subjective]y estimation of the edge location.
