A direct comparison of visual discrimination of shape and size on a large range of aspect ratios
نویسندگان
چکیده
Participants viewed pairs of ellipses differing in size and aspect ratio (short axis divided by long axis length). In separate experiments with identical stimuli participants were asked to indicate the larger or the more circular ellipse of the pair. First, the size discrimination thresholds decreased with an increase in the circularity of the ellipses. Second, size discrimination thresholds were lower than aspect ratio thresholds, except for the circle and more elongated ellipses where both were similar. Third, there was also an effect of size on aspect ratio discrimination such that larger stimuli appeared more circular.

In this paper the design of a biped robot actuated with Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) springs with minimum degrees of freedom is presented. SMA springs are a class of smart materials that are known for their high power to mass and volume ratios. It was shown that utilizing spring type of SMAs have many advantages as large deformation, smooth motion, silent and clean movement compared to ordinary typ...
متن کاملStock identification of Arabian yellow fin sea bream (Acanthopagrus arabicus) using shape of otolith in the Northern Persian Gulf and Oman Sea
Otolith shape analysis is one way to identify stocks of different fish species in the marine environment. Length, width, area, perimeter, form factor, aspect ratio, roundness, circularity, ellipticity and rectangularity analyses of otoliths were undertaken to assess patterns of spatial and temporal stock structure of a wide-ranging fish, the Arabian yellow fin sea bream Acanthopagrus arabicus. ...

متن کاملThe effect of normal aging on closed contour shape discrimination.
Our experiments explore whether contour processing of closed shapes is altered by healthy aging. Contour processing was measured using a closed contour (circle or ellipse) constructed of Gabor elements. The contour was presented either on a blank background or embedded in noise (identical Gabor elements of random orientation). Twenty-one older (age range: 61-80 years) and 21 younger (age range:...

Oblique impact of cylindrical projectiles with blunt, conical and hemispherical noses with different aspect ratios on metallic targets with different thicknesses is investigated and penetration critical angle is determined. Circular targets of Al1100-H12 had a diameter of 240mm and thicknesses of 1, 2 and 3mm. Steel work hardened projectiles with blunt, conical and hemispherical noses are made ...
