Maximum slant determines the 3-D curvature contrast effect

First-order structure induces the 3-D curvature contrast effect

A 3-D curvature contrast effect has been reported in shading-and-texture-defined (Curran & Johnson (1996). Vision Research 36, 3641-3653) and in stereoscopically defined (te Pas, Rogers, & Ledgeway (2000). Current Psychology Letters: Brain, Behaviour and Cognition 1, 117-126) stimuli. Our experiments show that a clear 3-D curvature contrast effect also occurs in motion-defined stimuli. The magn...

Dissociations between slant-contrast and reversed slant-contrast

A vertical test probe is misperceived as slanted in the opposite direction to an inducer when disparity specifies the inducer slant while monocular cues specify a frontoparallel surface (slant-contrast). In reversed cue conditions with vertical axis slant the test probe is misperceived as slanted in the same direction as the inducer (reversed slant-contrast). We found reliable slant-contrast an...

Slant Surfaces with Prescribed Gaussian Curvature

A slant immersion was introduced in [2] as an isometric immersion of a Riemannian manifold into an almost Hermitian manifold (M̃, g, J) with constant Wirtinger angle. From J-action point of view, the most natural surfaces in an almost Hermitian manifold are slant surfaces. Flat slant surfaces in complex space forms have been studied in [3, 4]. In this article, we study slant surfaces in complex ...

Motion Contrast 3 D Scanning

We present a new method for structured light 3D scanning called Motion Contrast 3D scanning (MC3D). The key principle behind MC3D is the conversion of spatial projector-camera disparity to temporal events recorded by a motion contrast sensor [1]. The idea of mapping disparity to time has been explored previously in the VLSI community, where several researchers have developed highly customized C...
