Stereoscopic Offset Makes Objects Easier to Recognize

Stereoscopic Offset Makes Objects Easier to Recognize

Binocular vision is obviously useful for depth perception, but it might also enhance other components of visual processing, such as image segmentation. We used naturalistic images to determine whether giving an object a stereoscopic offset of 15-120 arcmin of crossed disparity relative to its background would make the object easier to recognize in briefly presented (33-133 ms), temporally maske...

Learning to recognize objects.

Evidence from neurophysiological and psychological studies is coming together to shed light on how we represent and recognize objects. This review describes evidence supporting two major hypotheses: the first is that objects are represented in a mosaic-like form in which objects are encoded by combinations of complex, reusable features, rather than two-dimensional templates, or three-dimensiona...

Learning to recognize objects.

A theory of object recognition requires a theory of shape. Despite considerable empirical and theoretical research, however, a definition of object shape has proved elusive. Two experiments provide new insights by showing that children's object recognition changes dramatically during the period between 17 and 25 months. During this time, children develop the ability to recognize stylized three-...

Geological Interpretation Makes Earth Models Easier to Build

Geological modelers commonly produce 3D Earth Model representations [2],[3],[6], which are not only used for 3D visualization but also for geophysics (Time2depth migration), reservoir characterization, drilling well path optimization and reservoir engineering. These models should be topologically consistent with respect to a definite interpretation of the geology. Faults and erosive surfaces mu...
