Viewpoints and Objects

چکیده
There have been a number of proposals to split the specification of large and complex systems into a number of inter-related specifications, called viewpoints. Such a model of multiple viewpoints forms the cornerstone of the Open Distributed Processing (ODP) standardisation initiative. We address two of the technical problems concerning the use of formal techniques within multiple viewpoint models: these are unification and consistency checking. We discuss the software engineering implications of using viewpoints, and show that object encapsulation provides the necessary support for such a model. We then consider how this might be supported by using object-oriented variants of Z.

View combination in moving objects: The role of motion in discriminating between novel views of similar and distinctive objects by humans and pigeons
Humans and pigeons were trained to discriminate between views of similar and distinctive objects that rotated in depth coherently or non-coherently. We tested novel views that were either moving or static and were either between the training viewpoints or beyond them. With both types of motion, both species recognized views between the training viewpoints better than views beyond this range. Ad...
متن کاملReconstruction of 3D Objects by Integration of Multiple Range Data
A new approach to integrate range data from multiple viewpoints is described. Complicated objects, for example owers, are observed by a range nder from multiple viewpoints whose relative position is unknown. After simple segmentation, correspondences of regions between two consecutive data are examined. This matching process relies on regions which are not supposed to be in uenced by occlusion....
متن کاملDoes the Viewpoint Deviation Effect Diminish if Canonical Viewpoints are used for the Presentation of Dynamic Sequences?
Two studies examine the visual presentation of dynamic sequences. Experiment 1 tests if there are canonical viewpoints, that are especially appropriate for presentation. Participants agreed that viewpoints with 90 degree deviation between axis of sight and axis of main movement in the sequence are better than other viewpoints. Experiment 2 examines if these canonical viewpoints weaken the persp...
متن کاملIntrinsic frames of reference and egocentric viewpoints in scene recognition.
Three experiments investigated the roles of intrinsic directions of a scene and observer's viewing direction in recognizing the scene. Participants learned the locations of seven objects along an intrinsic direction that was different from their viewing direction and then recognized spatial arrangements of three or six of these objects from different viewpoints. The results showed that triplets...
متن کاملAge-related changes in matching novel objects across viewpoints
Object recognition is an important visual process. We are not only required to recognize objects across a variety of lighting conditions and variations in size, but also across changes in viewpoint. It has been shown that reaction times in object matching increase as a function of increasing angular disparity between two views of the same object, and it is thought that this is related to the ti...
متن کاملWhen Do Objects Become Landmarks? A VR Study of the Effect of Task Relevance on Spatial Memory
We investigated how objects come to serve as landmarks in spatial memory, and more specifically how they form part of an allocentric cognitive map. Participants performing a virtual driving task incidentally learned the layout of a virtual town and locations of objects in that town. They were subsequently tested on their spatial and recognition memory for the objects. To assess whether the obje...
