    The Coffer Illusion document describes an optical illusion where viewers initially see a series of rectangles rather than the 16 circles segmented in the background. The illusion pits visual segmentation cues against the strong prior assumption that the image depicts 3D coffers, or recessed panels. On average, it takes viewers around 45 seconds to perceive the circles, with some noticing faster or slower. The illusion is effective as a large-scale demonstration where different members of the audience realize the circles over an extended period, with some requiring a pointer to guide their perception.

    The Coffer Illusion

    Tony Norcia, Smith-Kettlewell


    How many circles do you see?
    Advance to the next slide
    Interpretation and observations on third
    page.
    First time viewers of this display invariably do not see the 16 circles
    segmented from the background. Rather, they see a series of
    rectangles that they frequently describe as door panels. The illusion
    pits segmentation cues against what appears to be a very strong prior
    to interpret the image as a series of 3-D structures coffers with
    closed boundaries. (A coffer is a decorative sunken panel.) It appears
    that the prior involves both closure and shape-from shading
    assumptions.
    This demo has been shown to approximately 100 people with an
    average time to see the circles of around 45 sec. Some observers take
    much longer, but some notice the circles after only 10-15 sec.

    The illusion works very well as a large-scale demo where various


    members of the audience get it over an extended period of time, with
    some members requiring explicit cuing with a pointer in order to see
    the circles.
