What Does the Comparative Method Reveal about Adaptation?
-It has been suggested recently that new quantitative methods for analyzing comparative data permit the identification of evolutionary processes. Specifically. it has been proposed that new comparative methods can distinguish the direct effects of natural selection on the distribution of a trait within a clade from the effects of drift. indirect selection, genotype-byenvironment interaction. an...

متن کاملWhat Does Motion Reveal About Transparency?
The perception of transparent objects from images is known to be a very hard problem in vision. Given a single image, it is difficult to even detect the presence of transparent objects in the scene. In this paper, we explore what can be said about transparent objects by a moving observer. We show how features that are imaged through a transparent object behave differently from those that are ri...
متن کاملWhat does physical rotation reveal about mental rotation?
In a classic psychological science experiment, Shepard and Metzler (1971) discovered that the time participants took to judge whether two rotated abstract block figures were identical increased monotonically with the figures' relative angular disparity. They posited that participants rotate mental images to achieve a match and that mental rotation recruits motor processes. This interpretation h...
متن کاملWhat does a light ray reveal about a transparent object?
We address the following problem in refractive shape estimation: given a single light-ray correspondence, what shape information of the transparent object is revealed along the path of the light-ray, assuming that the light-ray refracts twice. We answer this question in the form of two depth-normal ambiguities. First, specifying the surface normal at which refraction occurs constrains the depth...
