The usefulness of interdisciplinarity in cognitive science (CS) is demonstrated by an
overview of recent algorithms for recovering 3-D aspects from a 2-D input. The recovery …

Three experiments are reported in which it is tested whether the Gestalt effect of configural
orientation on shape perception operates on two-dimensional (2-D) or three-dimensional (3 …

Perception of surfaces plays a fundamental role in three-dimensional object recognition and
image understanding. A range image explicitly represents the surfaces of objects in a given …

The author reviews the research on the effectiveness of graphics in instruction and then
proposes a framework for developing a theory that accounts for the syntax, semantics, and …

Symmetry is an important geometric feature that affects object segmentation into parts,
though De Winter and Wagemans note that partly occluded objects can still be identified by …

Response time (RST) for identifying single letters is usually indifferent to disorientation, but
in Exp 1 RST increased with the angular deviation from that of the preceding letter (ADP) …

Vision-based devices have been entering the industrial and private world more and more
successfully: Face recognition systems control the access to buildings (Schulze-Kruger and …

Neuropsychological conditions such as Balint's syndrome have shown that perceptual
organization of parts into a perceptual unit can be dissociated from the ability to localize …

Two experiments investigated the effects of the direction of straight-line motion on the
perceived pointing of moving ambiguous (equilateral) triangles. Experiment 1 used a …

Selecting groups of objects is a frequent task in graphical user interfaces since it precedes
all manipulation operations. Current selection techniques such as lasso become time …
