A Topology for Figural Ambiguity

نویسنده

  • Thaddeus M. Cowan
چکیده

BRIDGES Mathematical Connections in Art, Music, and Science A topology for figural ambiguity (braid theory) is proposed which describes figure-figure, figure-ground, and figure-ground-figure ambiguities with the defming relations of the topology. The power of the topology is demonstrated by the classification of ambiguities and the revelation of new ambiguous forms.

Topological Requirements of Figural Completion

Figural completion, in its most common form, is the preattentive inference of the shape and location of the occluded parts of visible surfaces. Yet it also underlies illusory contour phenomena, which are associated with completion of occluding, rather than occluded surfaces. Phenomenological accounts, such as Kanizsa'ss5], though insightful, lack the precision necessary to formulate a computati...

Implementation of persistent identification of topological entities based on macro-parametrics approach

In history based parametric CAD modeling systems, persistent identification of the topological entities after design modification is mandatory to keep the design intent by recording model creation history and modification history. Persistent identification of geometric and topological entities is necessary in the product design phase as well as in the re-evaluation stage. For the identification...

Semantically meaningful and abstract figural reasoning in the context of fluid and crystallized intelligence

Because figural reasoning tasks are often assumed to indicate fluid intelligence (gf), we investigated which aspect of figural reasoning tasks make that they tend to mark gf—the figural content itself or the high degree of abstraction in these tasks. To this end, the assessment of figural reasoning abilities by means of concrete figural task material was compared with the assessment of figural ...

Dual Contouring for Domains with Topology Ambiguity

This paper describes an automatic and robust approach to generate quality triangular meshes for complicated domains with topology ambiguity. In previous works, we developed an octree-based Dual Contouring (DC) method to construct triangular meshes for complicated domains. However, topology ambiguity exists and causes non-conformal meshes. In this study, we discuss all possible topology configur...
