Global shape processing involves feature-selective and feature-agnostic coding mechanisms.
Recent research and modeling proposes that a closed shape is accurately described by both the curvature and angular location of its parts relative to the shape center, implying that the shape is coded along with its overall orientation. We tested this proposition. Radial frequency (RF) patterns were employed as stimuli as they can represent a range of familiar closed shapes and are processed gl...
متن کاملGlobal Feature Schemes for Qualitative Shape Descriptions
Qualitative shape descriptions are important in a number of fields in AI, such as in qualitative reasoning, and especially in robotics and vision. Current approaches are confined to describing local features while walking along the shapes’ boundaries. Shapes exist, however, which cannot be distinguished by these methods even though there are obvious distinctions between them. We shall introduce...
متن کاملSeparable mechanisms underlying global feature-based attention.
Feature-based attention is known to operate in a spatially global manner, in that the selection of attended features is not bound to the spatial focus of attention. Here we used electromagnetic recordings in human observers to characterize the spatiotemporal signature of such global selection of an orientation feature. Observers performed a simple orientation-discrimination task while ignoring ...
متن کاملGlobal shape processing involves a hierarchy of integration stages
Radial Frequency (RF) patterns can be used to study the processing of familiar shapes, e.g. triangles and squares. Opinion is divided over whether the mechanisms that detect these shapes integrate local orientation and position information directly, or whether local orientations and positions are first combined to represent extended features, such as curves, and that it is local curvatures that...
متن کاملGlobal shape versus local feature: An angle illusion
We have shown previously that the precision of angle judgments depends strongly on the global stimulus configuration: discrimination thresholds for angles that form part of isosceles triangles are up to 3 times lower than for those that form part of scalene triangles [Kennedy, G. J., Orbach, H. S., & Loffler, G. (2006). Effects of global shape on angle discrimination. VisionResearch, 46(8-9), 1...
