چکیده

The paper investigates a hypothesis that our visual system groups visual cues based on how they form a surface, or more specifically triangulation derived from the visual cues. To test our hypothesis, we compare shape recognition with three different representations of visual cues: a set of isolated dots delineating the outline of the shape, a set of triangles obtained from Delaunay triangulation of the set of dots, and a subset of Delaunay triangles excluding those outside of the shape. Each participant was assigned to one particular representation type and increased the number of dots (and consequentially triangles) until the underlying shape could be identified. We compare the average number of dots needed for identification among three types of representations. Our hypothesis predicts that the results from the three representations will be similar. However, they show statistically significant differences. The paper also presents triangulation based algorithms for reconstruction and recognition of a shape from a set of isolated dots. Experiments showed that the algorithms were more effective and perceptually agreeable than similar contour based ones. From these experiments, we conclude that triangulation does affect our shape recognition. However, the surface based approach presents a number of computational advantages over the contour based one and should be studied further.

On some recent advancements in applied shape analysis and directional statistics

There have been some new advances in shape analysis (labelled and unlabelled) and directional statistics. The real push has come from applications in bioinformatics and images. We consider a few topics mostly coming from my collaborative work! The topics considered are as follows: • 3D reconstruction from 2D views (labelled) • Bayesian hierarchical alignment (unlabelled shape) • Directional mod...

Shape Reconstruction in Photometric Stereo Compensating for Inter-reflection and Directional Diffuse Reflection

In photometric stereo one of the common problems may be inter-reflections occurring in concave surface parts of the object. They may locally blur the images in shade, resulting in a locally distorted shape. The effects may be more significant with increasing curvature of the concavity. Another problem may be non-Lambertian reflection, in which case shape reconstruction based on the Lambertian r...

Acoustic and non-acoustic factors in modeling listener-specific performance of sagittal-plane sound localization

The ability of sound-source localization in sagittal planes (along the top-down and front-back dimension) varies considerably across listeners. The directional acoustic spectral features, described by head-related transfer functions (HRTFs), also vary considerably across listeners, a consequence of the listener-specific shape of the ears. It is not clear whether the differences in localization ...

Combining Recognition and Geometry for Data - Driven 3 D Reconstruction

Today's multi-view 3D reconstruction techniques rely almost exclusively on depth cues that come from multiple view geometry. While these cues can be used to produce highly accurate reconstructions, the resulting point clouds are often noisy and incomplete. Due to these issues, it may also be difficult to answer higher-level questions about the geometry, such as whether two surfaces meet at a ri...

The relative weight of shape and non-rigid motion cues in object perception: a model of the parameters underlying dynamic object discrimination.

Shape and motion are two dominant cues for object recognition, but it can be difficult to investigate their relative quantitative contribution to the recognition process. In the present study, we combined shape and non-rigid motion morphing to investigate the relative contributions of both types of cues to the discrimination of dynamic objects. In Experiment 1, we validated a novel parameter-ba...
