[HTML][HTML] Failures of stereoscopic shape constancy over changes of viewing distance and size for bilaterally symmetric polyhedra

Y Yu, JT Todd, AA Petrov - Journal of Vision, 2021 - arvojournals.org

on observers' judgments of 3D metric shape under binocular viewing. Unlike previous …

Bilateral symmetry has no effect on stereoscopic shape judgments

Y Yu, AA Petrov, JT Todd - i-Perception, 2021 - journals.sagepub.com

Geometrical properties of a generalized cone and its 2D image

T Sawada, Z Pizlo - Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 2023 - Elsevier
The generalized cone is a simple 3D shape that is produced by sweeping a planar cross-
section along a curve. Many complex and articulated 3D objects can be represented by …

Rotational-symmetry in a 3D scene and its 2D image

T Sawada, Q Zaidi - Journal of mathematical psychology, 2018 - Elsevier
A 3D shape of an object is N-fold rotational-symmetric if the shape is invariant for 360/N
degree rotations about an axis. Human observers are sensitive to the 2D rotational …
