Interesting phenomena in shape perception is nonlocal and nonlinear. Thus, it is crucial that a shape perception system exhibits a nonlocal and nonlinear behaviour. From the computational point of view, however, neither nonlinearity nor nonlocality is desired. We propose a repeated use of Screened Poisson PDE (leading to a sparse linear system) to compute a part coding and extracting distance field, a mapping from the shape domain to the real line. Despite local and linear computations, the field exhibits highly nonlinear and nonlocal behaviour, leading to efficient and robust coding of both the local and the global structures. The proposed computation scheme is applicable to shapes in arbitrary dimensions as well as shapes implied by fragmented partial contours. The local behaviour is independent of the image context in which the shape resides.

Similarity judgments of same-category object representations: Effects of physical size, manipulability, and word frequency Dumitru, Magda L.; Joergensen, Gitte H. (2015-08-09) Studies of object similarity have focused on the relationship between different physical objects and their mental representations or between instances of the same physical object and its mental representation. The present study is the first to investigate the structure of within-category psychological space. We provided evidence that large objects and frequently mentioned objects are perceived as less similar to each other compared to small objects or less frequently mentioned objects. Further, similarity j...
Multi-image region growing for integrating disparity maps Leloglu, UĞUR MURAT; Halıcı, Uğur (1999-01-01) In this paper, a multi-image region growing algorithm to obtain planar 3-D surfaces in the object space from multiple dense disparity maps, is presented. A surface patch is represented by a plane equation and a set of pixels in multiple images. The union of back projections of all pixels in the set onto the infinite plane, forms the surface patch. Thanks to that hybrid representation of planar surfaces, region growing (both region aggregation and region merging) is performed on all images simultaneously. Pl...
Scalar waves in spacetimes with closed timelike curves Buğdaycı, Necmi; Başkal, Sibel; Department of Physics (2005) The existence and -if exists- the nature of the solutions of the scalar wave equation in spacetimes with closed timelike curves are investigated. The general properties of the solutions on some class of spacetimes are obtained. Global monochromatic solutions of the scalar wave equation are obtained in flat wormholes of dimensions 2+1 and 3+1. The solutions are in the form of infinite series involving cylindirical and spherical wave functions and they are elucidated by the multiple scattering method. Explici...
Edge strength functions as shape priors in image segmentation Erdem, Erkut; Erdem, Aykut; Tarı, Zehra Sibel (2005-12-01) Many applications of computer vision requires segmenting out of an object of interest from a given image. Motivated by unlevel-sets formulation of Raviv, Kiryati and Sochen [8] and statistical formulation of Leventon, Grimson and Faugeras [6], we present a new image segmentation method which accounts for prior shape information. Our method depends on Ambrosio-Tortorelli approximation of Mumford-Shah functional. The prior shape is represented by a by-product of this functional, a smooth edge indicator functi...
Specular motion and 3D shape estimation. Dövencioğlu, Nahide Dicle; Barla, P; Doerschner, K (2017-06-01) Dynamic visual information facilitates three-dimensional shape recognition. It is still unclear, however, whether the motion information generated by moving specularities across a surface is congruent to that available from optic flow produced by a matte-textured shape. Whereas the latter is directly linked to the first-order properties of the shape and its motion relative to the observer, the specular flow, the image flow generated by a specular object, is less sensitive to the object's motion and is tight...
