Image sequences capturing Hurricane Luis through meteorological satellites (GOES-8 and GOES-9) are used to estimate hurricane-top heights (structure) and hurricane winds (motion). This problem is diicult not only due to the absence of correspondences but also due to the lack of depth cues in the 2D hurricane images (scaled orthographic projection). In this paper, we present a structure and moti...

The first reports of phonological, surface and deep dyslexia come from orthographies containing quasi-regular mappings between orthography and phonology including English and French. Slovakian is a language with a relatively transparent orthography and hence a mostly regular script. The aim of this study was to investigate impaired oral reading in Slovakian. A novel diagnostic procedure was dev...

BACKGROUND The focus in the research on biological motion perception traditionally has been restricted to the visual modality. Recent neurophysiological and behavioural evidence, however, supports the idea that actions are not represented merely visually but rather audiovisually. The goal of the present study was to test whether the perceived in-depth orientation of depth-ambiguous point-light ...

Humans are known to continuously extract regularities from the flow of stimulation. This occurs in many facets of behavior, including reading. In spite of the ubiquitous evidence that readers become sensitive to orthographic regularities after very little exposure to print, the role of orthographic regularities receives at best a peripheral status in current theories of orthographic processing....

We investigate the psychophysical and computational processes underlying the perception of depth from texture cues in perspective projections. In particular, we analyse the similarities between the processes associated with perspective and orthographic projections. Based on a series of psychophysical experiments using white noise stimuli presented in perspective projection, we suggest that the ...
