This is the first part of a two-part paper that motivates and evaluates a method for the
automatic conversion of images from visual to tactile form. In this part, a broad-ranging …

Late 19th century studies of the brain provided evidence that part of the cerebral cortex was
made up of primary sensory receiving areas and primary motor areas. These comprised a …

We propose a computational model for detecting and localizing instances from an object
class in static gray-level images. We divide detection into visual selection and final …

3-D object recognition involves using image-computable features to identify 3-D object. A
single view of a 3-D object may not contain sufficient features to recognize it unambiguously …

Why do children learn nouns such as cup faster than dimensional adjectives such as big?
Most explanations of this phenomenon rely on prior knowledge of the noun-adjective …

Abstract [review] some of the recent empirical and theoretical work that has focused on the
effects of stimulus orientation/review studies that have looked for effects of orientation on …

Previous theories of early vision have assumed that visual search is based on simple two-
dimensional aspects of an image, such as the orientation of edges and lines. It is shown …

Impressive progress in 3D shape extraction led to representations that can capture object
geometries with high fidelity. In parallel, primitive-based methods seek to represent objects …

Recent advances in object recognition have emphasized the integration of intensity-derived
features such as affine patches with associated geometric constraints leading to impressive …

We present an approach to the recovery and recognition of 3-D objects from a single 2-D
image. The approach is motivated by the need for more powerful indexing primitives, and …
