چکیده

In a glance, the visual system can provide a summary of some kinds of information about objects in a scene. We explore how summary information about orientation is extracted and find that some representations of orientation are privileged over others. Participants judged the average orientation of either a set of 6 bars or 6 circular gratings. For bars, orientation information was carried by object boundary features, while for gratings, orientation was carried by internal surface features. The results showed more accurate averaging performance for bars than for gratings, even when controlling for potential differences in encoding precision for solitary objects. We suggest that, during orientation averaging, the visual system prioritizes object boundaries over surface features. This privilege for boundary features may lead to a better representation of the spatial layout of a scene.

Linear Features in Photogrammetric Activities

Photogrammetric manipulation of imagery has been, for the major part, a point-based operation. The utilization of points remains to be convenient since few manually digitized points can be accurately obtained to carry out various photogrammetric orientation procedures (e.g., relative and absolute orientation as well as photogrammetric triangulation). On the other hand, the constant evolution of...

CORRELATION BETWEEN CRYSTAL ORIENTATION AND NANOGAP FORMED BY ELECTRO MIGRATION

Effect of electro migration on crystal structures of platinum nanowire (Nano bridge) during Nano-gap formation is investigated by means of Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Selected area diffraction patterns as well as bright field images are used for this investigation. There were severely recessions in the polycrystalline Nano bridge and crystal structures around the nanogap changed ...

Bridging the Gap Between Object-Based Attention and Texton-Based Segmentation: How Attention Spreads Through Orientation-Defined Textures

Many recent studies of object-based attention (OBA) have suggested that the underlying units of attention are often discrete objects, through which attention readily spreads. However, the relationship of such experiments to the basic visual features (‘textons’) which guide the segmentation of visual scenes into ‘objects’ remains largely unexplored. Here we bridge this gap for one of the most co...
