چکیده
We studied the visual features that support eecient entry-level object recognition by measuring naming latencies for diierent views of artifacts and four-legged animals that were shown as shaded images or as silhouettes. Experiment 1 revealed important diierences in performance for the two renderings. Although three-quarter views of animals were recognized relatively quickly when shaded, they were not recognized quickly when presented as silhouettes. The same was true of artifacts when they were seen from the back. Experiment 2 used ideal-observer analyses to connrm that these eeects could not be accounted for by diierences in the intrinsic complexity of the stimuli. Together, these ndings indicate that, for human observers, the shape of an object's bounding contour does not serve as a direct visual coding of the object, although it might be used as a rst index into visual memory. These results also indicate that shading is important for recognizing objects in certain views. It remains unclear, however, what features are provided by shading. Shading might be used to derive a more precise part-based description of the object, or it might be used to extract surface properties or distinctive features and their spatial relations that are themselves elements of a view-based description of the object.

Flexible models of object classes, based on linear combinations of prototypical images, are capable of matching novel images of the same class and have been shown to be a powerful tool to solve several fundamental vision tasks such as recognition, synthesis and correspondence. The key problem in creating a speciic exible model is the computation of pixelwise correspondence between the prototype...

In the present experiment we investigated the importance of velocity information during a lane-centering task between the walls of a simulated tunnel. We v aried both simulated velocity and the spatial frequency content of the walls' surfaces, in order to address the innuence of each parameter on steering performance. Further, this performance was compared to the eeectiveness of lateral control...

We applied a standard facial caricaturing algorithm to a three-dimensional representation of human heads. This algorithm sometimes produced heads that appeared \caricatured". More commonly, however, exaggerating the distinctive three-dimensional information in a face seemed to produce an increase in the apparent age of the face | both at a local level, by exaggerating small facial creases into ...

The usage of landmark information in a route navigation task is investigated in a virtual environment. After learning a route, subjects were released at intermediate points along the route and asked to indicate the next movement direction required to continue the route. At each decision point, three landmarks were present, one of which was viewed centrally and two which appeared in the peripher...
