A vertical test probe is misperceived as slanted in the opposite direction to an inducer when disparity specifies the inducer slant while monocular cues specify a frontoparallel surface (slant-contrast). In reversed cue conditions with vertical axis slant the test probe is misperceived as slanted in the same direction as the inducer (reversed slant-contrast). We found reliable slant-contrast an...

In this study, we give the relationships between the conical curvatures of ruled surfaces generated by the unit vectors of the ruling, central normal and central tangent of a ruled surface in the Euclidean 3-space E^3. We obtain differential equations characterizing slant ruled surfaces and if the reference ruled surface is a slant ruled surface, we give the conditions for the surfaces generate...

When two slanted surfaces are placed in proximity, the perceived slant difference between them is exaggerated. This effect has been called slant contrast. When a partial occluder is presented in front of the gap between them, the perceived slant difference between the surfaces is reduced. We refer to this reduction in perceived slant difference as stereo-slant assimilation. We investigated two ...

When a small frontoparallel surface (a test strip) is surrounded by a larger slanted surface (an inducer), the test strip is perceived as slanted in the direction opposite to the inducer. This has been called the depth-contrast effect, but we call it the slant-contrast effect. In nearly all demonstrations of this effect, the inducer's slant is specified by stereoscopic signals; and other signal...

Although it is known that high-level spatial attention affects adaptation for a variety of stimulus features (including binocular disparity), the influence of voluntary attentional control-and the associated awareness-on adaptation has remained unexplored. We developed an ambiguous surface slant adaptation stimulus with conflicting monocular and binocular slant signals that instigated two mutua...

Slant correction is an indispensable technique for handwritten word recognition systems. Conventional slant correction techniques estimate the average slant angle of component characters and then correct the slant uniformly. Thus these conventional techniques will perform successfully under the assumption that each word is written with a constant slant. However, it is more widely acceptable ass...

Stereoscopic slant contrast is an apparent slant induced in a stereoscopically frontal plane surface (the test) opposite in direction to the specified stereoscopic slant of a neighbouring surface (the inducer). Test surfaces offset from the inducer in a direction collinear with the axis of slant (twist) show more contrast than those offset in a direction orthogonal to the axis of slant (hinge)....

Slant correction is a preprocessing technique to improve segmentation and recognition accuracy for handwritten word recognition. All conventional slant correction techniques were performed by the estimation of the average slant angle and the shear transformation. In this paper, a nonuniform slant correction technique for handwritten word recognition is proposed where the slant correction proble...

A vector rule-based approach and analysis to on-line slant signature recognition algorithm is presented. Extracting features in signature is an intense area due to complex human behavior, which is developed through repetition. Features such as direction, slant, baseline, pressure, speed and numbers of pen ups and downs are some of the dynamic information signature that can be extracted from an ...

Abstract The object of the present paper is to study notion quasi-bi-slant submanifolds almost contact metric manifolds as a generalization slant, semi-slant, hemi-slant, bi-slant, and quasi-hemi-slant submanifolds. We characterize Sasakian provide non-trivial examples signify that structure presented in this valid. Furthermore, integrability distributions geometry foliations are researched. Mo...
