Subjects adjusted a local gauge figure such as to perceptually "fit" the apparent surfaces of objects depicted in photographs. We obtained a few hundred data points per session, covering the picture according to a uniform lattice. Settings were repeated 3 times for each of 3 subjects. Almost all of the variability resided in the slant; the relative spread in the slant was about 25% (Weber fract...

Inter-ocular differences in spatial frequency occur during binocular viewing of a surface slanted in depth. Cortical cells with inter-ocular differences in preferred spatial frequency (dif-frequency cells) are expected to detect surfaces slanted in depth or vertical surface slant. Using our reaction-diffusion model, we obtain receptive fields and responses of simple cells in layer IV in cat V1....

In this paper, a fast geometric rectification method for space-borne SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) digital image in slant range with no ground control point is introduced , which is based on the imaging principle of SAR and the law of geometric distortion in slant range image. The main idea is at first to resample a slant range SAR image to a ground range image with a definite ground spacing b...

Previous work has demonstrated a difference in human sensitivity to compressive and shearing speed gradients. This raises the possibility that the ability to estimate the slant of a surface may vary with its direction of tilt. No such variance was found here, which may indicate that slant estimation depends upon deformation rather than upon compression or shear.

Several individual differences including age have been suggested to affect the perception of slant. A cross-sectional study of outdoor hill estimation (N = 106) was analyzed using individual difference measures of age, experiential knowledge, fitness, personality traits, and sex. Of particular note, it was found that for participants who reported any experiential knowledge about slant, estimate...

People judged the inclination of hills viewed either out-of-doors or in a computer-simulated virtual environment. Angle judgments were obtained by having people (1) provide verbal estimates, (2) adjust a representation of the hill's cross-section, and (3) adjust a tilt board with their unseen hand. Geographical slant was greatly overestimated according to the first two measures, but not the thi...

In this paper, we analyse the proper curve $\gamma(s)$ lying on pseudo-sphere. We develop an orthogonal frame $\lbrace V_{1}, V_{2}, V_{3} \rbrace$ along curve, pseudosphere. Next, find condition for to become $V_{k} -$ slant helix in Minkowski space. Moreover, another $\beta(\bar{s})$ pseudosphere or hyperbolic plane heaving $V_{2} = \bar{V_{2}}$ which \bar{V_{1}},\bar{V_{2}},\bar{V_{3}} \rbra...

This study looks into the bislant submanifolds of almost product semi-Riemannian manifolds that are Riemannian, and lightlike. We also state theorems provide required conditions for constructing a slant submanifold from submanifold. Morever, we define semi-slant locally discuss integrability distributions invariants or slants constitute

Antennas which are fed by a “shunt” or other method in which a part of the antenna comprises a portion of an electrically small one-turn loop, so that the feed is in essence a sort of autotransformer, are quite common, particularly at frequencies above 10 megahertz. Shunt feed arrangements for grounded vertical tower radiators, such as those used for medium wave broadcasting, are less common. A...

Recently, we have studied and obtained some results on slant submanifolds of Kenmotsu manifolds [9, 10]. In this paper we study the slant submanifold of a Kenmotsu manifold when structure tensor field φ is Killing and obtain some interesting results.
