Many surface cues support three-dimensional shape perception, but people can sometimes still see shape when these features are missing -- in extreme cases, even when an object is completely occluded, as when covered with a draped cloth. We…

Impossible objects, geometric constructions that humans can perceive but that cannot exist in real life, have been a topic of intrigue in visual arts, perception, and graphics, yet no satisfying computer representation of such objects…

We introduce algorithms to visualize feature spaces used by object detectors. The tools in this paper allow a human to put on `HOG goggles' and perceive the visual world as a HOG based object detector sees it. We found that these…

Geometrical chirality is a property of objects that describes three-dimensional mirror-symmetry violation and therefore it requires a non-vanishing spatial extent. In contrary, optical chirality describes only the local handedness of…

Brain representations of curvature may be formed on the basis of either vision or touch. Experimental and theoretical work by the author and her colleagues has shown that the processing underlying such representations directly depends on…
