| contents | This work analyzes the RAID dataset to evaluate human responses to affine image distortions, including rotation, translation, scaling, and Gaussian noise. Using Mean Squared Error (MSE), the study establishes human detection thresholds for these distortions, enabling comparison across types. Statistical analysis with ANOVA and Tukey Kramer tests reveals that observers are significantly more sensitive to Gaussian noise, which consistently produced the lowest detection thresholds. Fourier analysis further shows that high-frequency components act as a visual mask for Gaussian noise, demonstrating a strong correlation between high frequency energy and detection thresholds. Additionally, spectral orientation influences the perception of rotation. Finally, the study employs the PixelCNN model to show that image probability significantly correlates with detection thresholds for most distortions, suggesting that statistical likelihood affects human visual tolerance. |
