How does the visual system combine information from different depth cues to estimate three-dimensional scene parameters? We tested a maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) model of cue combination for perspective (texture) and binocular disparity cues to surface slant. By factoring the reliability of each cue into the combination process, MLE provides more reliable estimates of slant than would be...

The light reflected from an object depends on its reflectance, the illumination, and the pose of the object within the scene. An observer is called lightness constant if the perceived reflectance (lightness) of achromatic objects stays the same despite variation in object-extrinsic factors such as illumination and pose. Here, we used a dissimilarity scaling task to measure lightness constancy a...

Aerodynamic drag is an important factor in vehicles fuel consumption. Pressure drag which is the main component of total drag is a result of boundary layer separation from vehicle surface. Flow control methods are applied to avoid or at least delay separation. Depending upon whether these methods consume energy to control the flow or not, they are called active or passive control methods. In th...

Our two eyes receive different views of a visual scene, and the resulting binocular disparities enable us to reconstruct its three-dimensional layout. However, the visual environment is also rich in monocular depth cues. We examined the resulting percept when observers view a scene in which there are large conflicts between the surface slant signaled by binocular disparities and the slant signa...

In previous work [Meese et al. (1995). Vision Research, 35, 2879-2888)] we showed that one-dimensional (1D) speed gradients are sufficient to produce a compelling impression of surface slant. Summing a 1D vertical shearing gradient or, less intuitively, a 1D horizontal shearing gradient with a random field of horizontally translating dots produces perceived slant about a horizontal axis. Simila...

Visuomotor localization in the presence of slant was measured. Five subjects pointed at the center LED of an array of five LEDs viewed monocularly. Pointing was open-loop. The LEDs were separated by 1.5, 3.0, or 4.5 cm. The array was rotated about a vertical axis coincident with the center LED to slant the array from -50 degrees to +50 degrees. LED separation had no effect. A small linear relat...

In this paper, we have proved that locally there exist infinitely many three dimensional slant submanifolds with prescribed scalar curvature into cosymplectic space form M 5 (c) with c ∈ {−4, 4}while there does not exist flat minimal proper slant surface in M 5 (c) with c 6= 0. In section 5, we have established an inequality between mean curvature and sectional curvature of the subamnifold and ...

A $it{weighted~slant~Toep}$-$it{Hank}$ operator $L_{phi}^{beta}$ with symbol $phiin L^{infty}(beta)$ is an operator on $L^2(beta)$ whose representing matrix consists of all even (odd) columns from a weighted slant Hankel (slant weighted Toeplitz) matrix, $beta={beta_n}_{nin mathbb{Z}}$ be a sequence of positive numbers with $beta_0=1$. A matrix characterization for an operator to be $it{weighte...
