Motion perception: From detection to interpretation

S Nishida, T Kawabe, M Sawayama… - Annual review of vision …, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Visual motion processing can be conceptually divided into two levels. In the lower level,
local motion signals are detected by spatiotemporal-frequency-selective sensors and then …

Shape, motion, and optical cues to stiffness of elastic objects

VC Paulun, F Schmidt, JJR van Assen… - Journal of …, 2017 - jov.arvojournals.org
Nonrigid materials, such as jelly, rubber, or sponge move and deform in distinctive ways
depending on their stiffness. Which cues do we use to infer stiffness? We simulated cubes of …

The look and feel of soft are similar across different softness dimensions

M Cavdan, K Drewing, K Doerschner - Journal of vision, 2021 - jov.arvojournals.org
The softness of objects can be perceived through several senses. For instance, to judge the
softness of a cat's fur, we do not only look at it, we often also run our fingers through its coat …

Inferring the stiffness of unfamiliar objects from optical, shape, and motion cues

F Schmidt, VC Paulun, JJR van Assen… - Journal of …, 2017 - jov.arvojournals.org
Visually inferring the stiffness of objects is important for many tasks but is challenging
because, unlike optical properties (eg, gloss), mechanical properties do not directly affect …

Estimating mechanical properties of cloth from videos using dense motion trajectories: Human psychophysics and machine learning

W Bi, P **, H Nienborg, B ** on deformable stretchable materials using boundary tracking
MT Ibrahim, A Majumder, M Gopi - Computers & Graphics, 2022 - Elsevier
We present the first method for dynamic projection map** on rectangular, deformable and
stretchable elastic materials using consumer-grade time of flight (ToF) depth cameras. We …

Shatter and splatter: The contribution of mechanical and optical properties to the perception of soft and hard breaking materials

AC Schmid, K Doerschner - Journal of vision, 2018 - jov.arvojournals.org
Research on the visual perception of materials has mostly focused on the surface qualities
of rigid objects. The perception of substance like materials is less explored. Here, we …

Visual perception of shape-transforming processes:'Shape scission'

F Schmidt, F Phillips, RW Fleming - Cognition, 2019 - Elsevier
Shape-deforming processes (eg, squashing, bending, twisting) can radically alter objects'
shapes. After such a transformation, some features are due to the object's original form …

Assessing the representational structure of softness activated by words

M Cavdan, N Goktepe, K Drewing, K Doerschner - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Softness is an important material property that can be judged directly, by interacting with an
object, but also indirectly, by simply looking at an image of a material. The latter is likely …

A Survey on Realistic Virtual Human Animations: Definitions, Features and Evaluations

R Rekik, S Wuhrer, L Hoyet, K Zibrek… - Computer Graphics …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Generating realistic animated virtual humans is a problem that has been extensively studied
with many applications in different types of virtual environments. However, the creation …
