For the online control of movement, it is important to respond fast. The extent to which cues are effective in guiding our actions might therefore depend on how quickly they provide new information. We compared the latency to alter a movement when monocular and binocular cues indicated that the surface slant had changed. We found that subjects adjusted their movement in response to three types ...

Both texture and motion can be strong cues to depth, and estimating slant from texture cues can be considered analogous to calculating slant from motion parallax (Malik and Rosenholtz 1994, report UCB/CSD 93/775, University of California, Berkeley, CA). A series of experiments was conducted to determine the relative weight of texture and motion cues in the perception of planar-surface slant whe...

According to the American National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), the first signature recognition system was developed in 1965. Then the research continued in 1970 focusing on the potential of geometric characteristic of a signature rather than dynamic characteristic. Nowadays, signature is a commonly used identification procedure. Everyone would be required having a signature for autho...

Linear transformations (shear or scale transformations) of either horizontal or vertical disparity give rise to the percept of slant or inclination. It has been proposed that the percept of slant induced by vertical size disparity, known as Ogle's induced-size effect, and the analogous induced-shear effect, compensate for scale and shear distortions arising from aniseikonia, eccentric viewing, ...

Slant correction is one of the preprocessing steps for the character recognition. This proposed method is simple and efficient for correcting the slant of offline handwritten Telugu isolated characters and cursive words. This method is motivated from the chain code of the word contour slant correction method but this proposed method does not identify the chain code of the word or character cont...

When looking for a target with a different slant than all the other objects, the time needed is independent of the number of other objects. Surface slant can be inferred from the two-dimensional images on the retinas using various cues. The information from different cues is subsequently combined to get a single estimate of slant. Is information from the individual cues or from the combined per...

This paper presents the mixed mode I/II stress intensity factors (SIFs) of slanted cracks/notches under tension loading. A two-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) was employed using ABAQUS program. Based on literature survey, there is a lack solutions for SIFs cracks in plane plates. The strain energy approach (SEA) adopted to analyze notched cases. Mode I and II are derived via SEA metho...
