Abstract
We provide here a mathematical model of size/context illusions, inspired by the functional architecture of the visual cortex. We first recall previous models of scale and orientation, in particular the one in (Sarti et al., 2008), and simplify it, only considering the feature of scale. Then we recall the deformation model of illusion, introduced by (Franceschiello et al. 2017), to describe orientation related GOIs, and adapt it to size illusions. We finally apply the model to the Ebbinghaus and Delboeuf illusions, validating the results by comparing with experimental data from (Massaro et al., 1971) and (Roberts et al., 2005).
