Is human object recognition viewpoint dependent or viewpoint invariant under "everyday" conditions? I. Biederman and P.C. Gerhardstein (1993) argued that viewpoint-invariant mechanisms are used almost exclusively. However, our analysis indicates that (a) their conditions for immediate viewpoint invariance lack the generality to characterize a wide range of recognition phenomena, (b) the extensi...

Viewpoint-dependent recognition performance of 3-D objects has often been taken as an indication of a viewpoint-dependent object representation. This viewpoint dependence is most often found using metrically manipulated objects. We aim to investigate whether instead these results can be explained by viewpoint and object property (e.g. curvature) information not being processed independently at ...

In many situations involving highly connected networks of objects, such as semantic networks in AI, hypermedia networks, or scene representations in computer graphics, the notion of "current viewpoint" or "current focus of attention" is important. In traditional systems, the network structures are considered relatively fixed, while the user's viewpoint is considered to move through the structur...

The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) has endorsed High Altitude Platforms (HAPs) as an alternative means of providing UMTS wireless services. The utilisation of HAPs (High Altitude Platforms) in the access part of the upcoming UMTS networks can provide great flexibility to UMTS from the viewpoint of service provisions and fast infrastructure installation. Moreover, they offer these ...
