A brief outline of the texton theory was given in several review papers (Julesz and Bergen 1983; Julesz 1984a, b, 1985) without going into details. Here a more complete version of the texton theory is presented, with emphasis on the critical distances within which the density of textons is determined by the preattentive system. Particularly some recent findings by Sagi and Julesz (1985a, b) influenced the current version of the texton theory. The stimuli are restricted to drawings composed of line segments that permit a precise definition of neighborhoods and distances to which the line segments and texture elements have to be confined in order to quality for preattentive texture discrimination. These critical distances and the aperture of focal attention are scaled by the average size of the texture elements. Furthermore, it is stressed that even when the stimuli are restricted to line segments, the blobs outlined by line segments behave like textons. The preattentive system ignores the exact shape of these blobs, but is sensitive to their average width, length, and orientation.
几篇综述论文（朱尔兹和伯根，1983年；朱尔兹，1984年a、b，1985年）对纹理理论进行了简要概述，但未深入细节。在此，我们给出纹理理论更完整的版本，重点关注前注意系统确定纹理元密度的临界距离。特别是萨吉和朱尔兹（1985年a、b）最近的一些发现影响了纹理理论的当前版本。刺激物限于由线段组成的图形，这些图形允许对线邻域和距离进行精确界定，线段和纹理元素必须局限于这些邻域和距离内才能进行前注意纹理辨别。这些临界距离和焦点注意的孔径由纹理元素的平均大小来标定。此外，需要强调的是，即使刺激物限于线段，由线段勾勒出的斑点也表现得像纹理元。前注意系统忽略这些斑点的确切形状，但对它们的平均宽度、长度和方向敏感。
