Abstract

We propose and evaluate several novel types of CAPTCHAs (test to tell computers and humans apart) that exploit characteristics of the human visual system. Perceptions caused by the effect of lightness constancy or grouping phenomena due to transparent motion are hard to emulate on computers and may thus provide novel authentication mechanisms.
