Perspective and Form Ratio as Determinants of Relative Slant Judgments'
نویسندگان
چکیده
Judgments of relative slant were elicited by a paired-comparison method from 24 S"s in each of three experiments. The stimuli were computergenerated slides representing regular dot patterns (Exp. I), regular line patterns (Exp. II), or random dot patterns (Exp. Ill) rotated about a horizontal axis. The ratio of horizontal to vertical separations (form ratio) and perspective were independently varied in Exp. I and II. Perspective clearly dominated slant judgments when in conflict with form ratio as an indicator of degree of slant. Perspective alone was varied in Exp. Ill and was found to be less effective in determining slant judgments for random dot patterns. The equivalence of perspective and optical theta as explanations of slant perception is discussed.

Computation and measurement of slant specified by linear perspective.
One of the striking features of vision is that we can experience depth in two-dimensional images. Since the Renaissance, artists have used linear perspective to create sensations of depth and slant. What is not known is how the brain measures linear perspective information from the retinal image. Here, an experimental technique and geometric computations were used to isolate slant related to li...
متن کاملPictorial depth cues: a new slant.
Pictorial depth cues such as perspective projection, aspect ratio, and texture gradients can specify mathematically the slant of a planar surface. We performed experiments to measure the accuracy of human perception of surface slant from these cues. We calculated the perceived slant from judgments of the relative lengths of a pair of orthogonal lines embedded in the surface. Our results indicat...
متن کاملOptical texture and linear perspective as stimuli for slant perception.
Experiments critical of the effectiveness of variables of optical texture in evoking accurate judgments of slant are shown to be inappropriate, inadequate, or deficient. Experiments supporting linear perspective as a stimulus for slant are evaluated. The contention that perceived slant is a function primarily of linear perspective is shown to be oversimplified and hardly adequate to cope with t...

In this work, we use the formal definition of $k$-slant helix cite{ali2} to obtain the intrinsic equations as well as the position vector for emph{slant-slant helices} which a generalization of emph{general helices} and emph{slant helices}. Also, we present some characterizations theorems for $k$-slant helices and derived, in general form, the intrinsic equations for such curves. Thereafter, fr...
متن کاملRelieving the Burdens of Secrecy: Revealing Secrets Influences Judgments of Hill Slant and Distance
Recent work demonstrates that harboring secrets influences perceptual judgments and actions. Individuals carrying secrets make judgments consistent with the experience of being weighed down, such as judging a hill as steeper and judging distances to be farther. In the present article, two studies examined whether revealing a secret would relieve the burden of secrecy. Relative to a control cond...
