AbstractIn everyday life we often encounter situations in which we can expect a visual stimulus before we actually see it. Here, we study the impact of such stimulus anticipation on the actual response to a visual stimulus. Participants were to indicate the sex of deer and cattle on photographs of the respective animals. On some trials, participants were cued on the species of the upcoming animal whereas on other trials this was not the case. Time freque...

AbstractAll binocular depth estimation algorithms need to apply some kind of matching process for correspondence search. Unfortunately, this search process is difficult because of ambiguities. One possibility to reduce ambiguities is to use 3-D models of the scene geometry. In this paper we interpret the scene as a composition of basic parameterizable surfaces. We present a general way of deriving formulas for perspectively mapping such surfaces from one...

AbstractDuring CAD development and any kind of design optimisation over years a huge amount of geometries accumulate in a design department. To organize and structure these designs with respect to reusability, a hierarchical set of components on different scalings is extracted by the designers. This hierarchy allows to compose designs from several parts and to adapt the composition to the current task. Nevertheless, this hierarchy is imposed by humans an...

AbstractApplying numerical optimisation methods in the field of aerodynamic design optimisation normally leads to a huge amount of heterogeneous design data. While most often only the most promising results are investigated and used to drive further optimisations, general methods for investigating the entire design dataset are rare. We propose methods that allow the extraction of comprehensible knowledge from aerodynamic design data represented by discre...

AbstractIn vision, an object representation is constructed through a cascade of areas, each processing more and more elaborate features of the stimulus image. We hypothesize that the necessary signal flow involves a feed-forward path to compose the object representation as well as a feedback path to refine the representation and to correct errors. Using word recognition as a metaphor for visual stimuli, we have implemented this architecture in a spiking ...
