Dealing with information extracted from a natural image, a medical scan, satellite data or a frame in a video sequence is the purpose of image analysis. In the real world, the stimulus that is received by the retina is perceived as whole and complete information. Between the electromagnetic reception and the perception, physiological and neurological processes construct the final perception and...

While we humans exist in space through our bodies, experience it via all senses and build up an integrated knowledge of the world memories. However, children’s conception differs from adults due to their developmental stages. This study aims examine human-space interaction with a new approach reveal effects sensory stimuli on children's perception memory space. The case was conducted theme park...

We explored the perception of phonetic continua generated with an automated auditory morphing technique in three perceptual experiments. The use of large sets of stimuli allowed an assessment of the impact of single vs. paired presentation without the massed stimulus repetition typical of categorical perception experiments. A third experiment shows that such massed repetition alters the degree ...

Some experiments are described which explore the perception of the glides /w/ and /j/ spoken simultaneously. These cannot be spoken in isolation, like vowel sounds, but must be combined with vowels to form syllables. In previous experiments /w/ and /j/ were combined with the vowels /i/ and /a/ to form the four syllables /wi/, /wa, /ji/ and /ja/. It was found that if both the vowels and their pi...

This study explored whether sensorimotor experiences of cutting down a tree in a virtual forest would be more effective compared to mentally simulating the same experience in terms of increasing pro-environmental self-efficacy and behavior in the physical, non-mediated world. Two modalities for embodying the tree-cutting experience were compared: immersive virtual environment and mental simulat...

Environmental hazards caused by living conditions and human behaviour in residential areas are types of manmade hazards which have rarely been studied and documented in literature. Available studies that had considered theconventional residential environment had proved that residents’ perception were influenced by human and environmental factors. With focus on educational institutions, this pap...
