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...

In the preceding article [T], we have constructed several examples of slant immersions into complex Euclidean spaces. The purpose of this article is to construct some additional examples to get slant and full immersions, in the sense of slantedness, into complex Euclidean spaces with arbitrary dimension, codimension, and positive slant angle.

The horizontal-vertical illusion, in which the vertical dimension is overestimated relative to the horizontal direction, has been explained in terms of the statistical relationship between the lengths of lines in the world, and the lengths of their projections onto the retina (Howe & Purves, 2002). The current study shows that this illusion affects the apparent aspect ratio of shapes, and inves...

Surface-slant variations can be sensed either simultaneously with steady fixation or sequentially with saccadic gaze shifts. Stereo-slant discrimination thresholds are affected by visual, oculomotor, and memory factors. We have investigated the effects of fixation strategy, target separation, and exposure duration on stereo-slant discrimination. With long exposure durations (734 ms), stereo-sla...

ÐNormalization of slant and skew is often used in processing a word image before recognition. In this paper, we prove the theoretical equivalence of different methods for slant and skew corrections. In particular, we show that correcting first for skew by rotation and then for slant by a shear transformation in the horizontal direction is equivalent to first correcting for slant by a shear tran...

2 experiments were conducted to determine the generality of the finding by Stavrianos (1945) that judged slant of plane rectangular figures varies directly with size. In Experiment I, equal-slant contours were obtained from 54 undergraduate Ss for 14 rectangles whose lengths varied in equal log steps from 1.0 to 42.2 cm. with a reference stimulus of 7.5 cm. In Experiment II, 72 Ss were tested o...

We investigate temporal aspects of binocular slant perception in the presence and absence of a visual reference. Subjects judge slant induced by large-field stereograms of which one half-image is either horizontally scaled or sheared relative to the other half-image. Each stimulus is presented for different observation periods ranging from 0.1 to 19.2 sec. We quantitatively corroborate earlier ...
