	abstract =	{Many attempts have been made to characterize latent
	structures in ``texture spaces'' defined by attentive similarity
	judgments. While an optimal description of perceptual texture space
	remains elusive, we suggest that the similarity judgments gained from
	these procedures provide a useful standard for relating image
	statistics to high-level similarity. In the present experiment, we ask
	subjects to group natural textures into visually similar clusters. We
	also represent each image using the features employed by three
	different parametric texture synthesis models. Given the cluster labels
	for our textures, we use linear discriminant analysis to predict
	cluster membership. We compare each model's assignments to human
	data for both positive and contrast-negated textures, and evaluate
	relative model performance.},
