The Café Wall Illusion: Local and Global Perception from Multiple Scales to Multiscale by Nasim Nematzadeh, David M. W. Powers

“…Modelling the detection of tilt in these illusions, and its strength, is a challenging task and leads to the development of techniques that explain important features of human perception. We present here a predictive and quantitative approach for modelling foveal and peripheral vision for the induced tilt in the Café Wall illusion, in which parallel mortar lines between shifted rows of black and white tiles appear to converge and diverge. …”
