Visual discrimination of local surface depth and orientation.
Many theoretical analyses of 3-dimensional form perception assume that visible surfaces in the environment are perceptually represented in terms of local mappings of metric depth and/or orientation. Although this approach is often taken for granted in the study of human vision, there have been relatively few attempts to demonstrate its psychological validity empirically. In an effort to shed ne...
متن کاملHaptic curvature discrimination at several regions of the hand.
Static haptic discrimination of the curvature of convex, concave, or straight 20-cm-long strips was investigated for nine placements on the hand. In one condition, the strips were touched with the palmar side of the hand, and in the other condition, with the dorsal side. The influence of the lengths of the strips, and thus of contact lengths, was also investigated. For all placements, discrimin...
متن کاملTouch dominates haptic estimates of discordant visual-haptic size.
Observers (72 college students) estimated the size of plastic squares that they held in their fingers and simultaneously viewed through a reducing lens that halved the squares' visual size. The squares were grasped from below through a cloth that prevented direct sight of the hand. Each estimate was a match selected later, either haptically or visually, from a set of comparison squares. Vision ...
متن کاملIndependent encoding of surface orientation and surface curvature.
Marr [(1982) Vision, San Francisco, Calif.: Freeman] proposed that we represent surface geometry in terms of a viewer-centred description of surface orientation and distance. This description is computed by a range of independent processing systems which take as input particular kinds of information present in images, like surface texture, shading, retinal disparity and motion parallax. The out...
متن کاملCurvature Detection using Polynomial Fitting on Local Orientation
This report describes a technique to detect curvature. The technique uses local polynomial fitting on a local orientation description of an image. The idea is based on the theory of rotational symmetries which describes curvature, circles, starpatterns etc. The local polynomial fitting is shown to be equivalent to calculating partial derivatives on a lowpass version of the local orientation. Th...
