Explorations of Shape Space

چکیده
Using a small number of prototypical reference objects to span the internal shape representation space has been suggested as a general approach to the problem of object representation in vision (Edelman, 1995c). We have investigated the ability of human subjects to form the low-dimensional metric shape representation space predicted by this approach. In each of a series of experiments, which involved pairwise similarity judgment, and delayed match to sample, subjects were confronted with several classes of computer-rendered 3D animal-like shapes, arranged in a complex pattern in a common high-dimensional parameter space. We combined response time and error rate data into a measure of view similarity, and submitted the resulting proximity matrix to nonmetric multidimen-sional scaling (MDS). In the two-dimensional MDS solution, views of the same shape were invariably clustered together, and, in each experiment, the relative geometrical arrangement of the view clusters of the diierent objects reeected the true low-dimensional structure in parameter space (star, triangle, square, line) that deened the relationships between the stimuli classes. These ndings are now used used to guide the development of a detailed computational theory of shape vision based on similarity to prototypes.

Hypersurfaces of a Sasakian space form with recurrent shape operator
Let $(M^{2n},g)$ be a real hypersurface with recurrent shapeoperator and tangent to the structure vector field $xi$ of the Sasakian space form$widetilde{M}(c)$. We show that if the shape operator $A$ of $M$ isrecurrent then it is parallel. Moreover, we show that $M$is locally a product of two constant $phi-$sectional curvaturespaces.
متن کاملA Cost Efficient Space Communication Architecture for Multiparty Enterprise Age of Space Exploration
Extended Abstract A revived interest in space explorations has been initiated by major space agencies, especially in lunar explorations. In the near future, the world will witness a number of manned and robotic lunar explorations administrated by different nations including the U.S, Russia, China and India [1]. At least six robotic lunar explorations are scheduled to be launched by late 2011. O...
متن کاملAnalytical Solution for a Two-Layer Transversely Isotropic Half-Space Affected by an Arbitrary Shape Dynamic Surface Load
The dynamic response of a transversely isotropic, linearly elastic layer bonded to the surface of a half-space of a different transversely isotropic material under arbitrary shape surface loads is considered. With the help of displacements and stresses Green’s functions, an analytical formulation is presented for the determination of the displacements and stresses at any point in both surface l...

Let M^2n be a hoph hypersurfaces with parallel ricci operator and tangent to structure vector field in Sasakian space form. First, we show that structures and properties of hypersurfaces and hoph hypersurfaces in Sasakian space form. Then we study the structure of hypersurfaces and hoph hypersurfaces with a parallel ricci tensor structure and show that there are two cases. In the first case, th...
