Wimmelbild which means "teeming figure picture" is a popular genre of visual puzzles. Abundant masses of small figures are brought together in complex arrangements to make one scene in a Wimmelbild. It is picture hunt game. We discuss what type of computations/processes could possibly underlie the solution of the discovery of figures that are hidden due to a distractive influence of the context. One thing for sure is that the processes are unlikely to be purely bottom-up. One possibility is to re-arrange parts and see what happens. As this idea is linked to creativity, there are abundant examples of unconventional part re-organization in modern art. A second possibility is to define what to look for. That is to formulate the search as a top-down process. We address top-down visual search in Wimmelbild with the help of diffuse distance and curvature coding fields.

Joint Utilization of Appearance, Geometry and Chance for Scene Logo Retrieval Soysal, Medeni; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011-07-01) A novel approach involving the comparison of appearance and geometrical similarity of local patterns via a combined description is presented. Candidate groups of interest points are identified based on unlikeliness of being matched by chance. For each of the keypoints in these groups, a novel description is proposed. This description utilizes quantized appearance descriptors of interest points to avoid the necessity of matching each test descriptor to each template descriptor. Additionally, one-to-many matc...
3D face reconstruction using stereo images and structured light Öztürk, Ahmet Oğuz; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) Nowadays, 3D modelling of objects from multiple images is a topic that has gained great recognition and is widely used in various fields. Recently, lots of progress has been made in identification of people using 3D face models, which are usually reconstructed from multiple face images. In this thesis, a system including stereo cameras and structured light is built for the purpose of 3D modelling. The system outputs are 3D shapes of the face and also the texture information registered to this shape. Althoug...
3d object recognition by geometric hashing for robotics applications Hozatlı, Aykut; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) The main aim of 3D Object recognition is to recognize objects under translation and rotation. Geometric Hashing is one of the methods which represents a rotation and translation invariant approach and provides indexing of structural features of the objects in an efficient way. In this thesis, Geometric Hashing is used to store the geometric relationship between discriminative surface properties which are based on surface curvature. In this thesis surface is represented by shape index and splash where shape ...
NonLocal via Local-NonLinear via Linear: A New Part-coding Distance Field via Screened Poisson Equation Genctav, Murat; Genctav, Asli; Tarı, Zehra Sibel (2016-06-01) 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 h...
Re-thinking the limits of architecture through the avant-garde formations during the 1960s : projections and receptions in the context of Turkey Savaşır, Gökçeçiçek; Cengizkan, Ali; Department of Architecture (2008) An inquiry into the voyage of avant-garde within the domains of art and architecture makes it evident that avant-garde is ambiguous in meaning as a word, a term, a phenomenon and a concept. This study aims to decipher avant-garde and to offer a map for its conceptualization in architecture. Taken not as a monolithic statement but as a unitary concept incorporating a number of subjects and formations for granted, in this study, architectural avant-garde is conceptualized as diverse expressions of activated e...
