Machine mediated human perception
'The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.' --Steve Jobs In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in designing places through the lenses of the human experience. However, research on the relationship between the physical environment and its …

Understanding Human Perception Through MooneyFaces
Human vision is remarkably tolerant to image distortions: even when every pixel in an image has been destructively altered, as in classic Mooney displays, humans can still extract information about identity, pose, and more. Most current deep learning computer vision models perform well with …

Caffeine and Human Perception of Time
… effect of caffeine on several components of time perception in an attention-demanding task. Review of the current literature shows that the rhythm of the brain's internal clock, controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which is believed to mediate the perception of short durations, is …

Human Perception of Transient Longitudinal Vehicle Motion
Human perception of discomfort during transient longitudinal motion of a vehicle is little understood. Optimizing vehicle motion to maximize occupant comfort is of great interest to vehicle manufacturers. The imminent wide-scale deployment of autonomous control has further increased the attention …

Modelling the human perception of shape-from-shading
… (SFS). This thesis divides the process of human SFS into two functional sub-units (luminance disambiguation and shape computation) and studies them individually. Based on results of a series of psychophysical experiments it is proposed that the interaction between first- and second-order …

Human perception of local air movement in the tropics
The purpose of the study is to investigate if Personalized Ventilation (PV) is applicable to the Tropics, and how the people in the Tropics perceive local air movement with short-term (15-minute) and long-term (90-minute) exposure. A subject-centred intervention approach was adopted for this …

Comparing Human Perception to Computational Classifications of Lexical Tones
… by a Hidden Markov Model that simulates tone perception and categorization. The computational model tested the categorization of stimuli taken from both citation and continuous contexts of Thai tonal data, in order to compare the performance of the computational model on both clear and …

Human Perception of Aural and Visual Disparity in Virtual Environments
… mitigated, the need for further study of human interaction with these environments has grown apparent. The visual and interaction components for virtual reality applications have been comprehensively studied, but a lack of spatial audio fidelity leaves a need for understanding how well …

Human perception and control of vehicle roll tilt in hyper-gravity
… in which they must maintain accurate perception and control of vehicle orientation for tasks such as landing and docking. To study sensorimotor function in altered gravity, a hyper-gravity test-bed was produced using a centrifuge. Previous experiments have quantified static tilt …

The Role of Experience in the Human Perception of Emotion in Dogs
… the role of experience in interspecific emotion perception, humans with various levels of dog experience provided their interpretations of emotion in dogs using the dogs' visual signals (body language). First, a set of 30 short videos of dogs was assembled, and a panel of eight behavioral experts …

Determination of Henry's Law Constants of Odorous Contaminants and Their Application to Human Perception
… nonadienal. The results were correlated to the human sensory data obtained from flavor profile analysis. The data demonstrated that as the gas phase concentration increased, the perceived odor intensity also increased, but only up to a certain point. The vapor phase concentration increased …

Urban design, climate + context: Exploring the interplay of thermal comfort and human perception in the case of Lahore, Pakistan.
Weather is arguably the most important human thermal comfort factor, both as an actual and perceived component, from a user's viewpoint. The user's received energy, real or presumed, is highly decisive in how well an outdoor space is used. The present study illuminates the human perceptual …

Bridging Design and Perception: Novel Tools and Technologies for Creating Effective Human-Robot Interactions
<p>This thesis explores human perception of robots through the use of novel tools and technologies. First, the impact of Augmented Reality (AR) data presentation on human perception of robots is investigated. A study conducted with the AR human-robot teaming system found that robot performance …

Knowledge-augmented and context-sensitive face perception
Facial expressions play a crucial role in human communication, conveying a significant amount of information about an individual’s internal emotional state. In the past, psychological research has focused on facial expressions in isolation. However, recent findings in psychology and cognitive …

Spectral discontinuity in concatenative speech synthesis – perception, join costs and feature transformations
… of determining an objective measure to represent human perception of spectral discontinuity in concatenative speech synthesis. Such measures are used as join costs to quantify the compatibility of speech units for concatenation in unit selection synthesis. No previous study has reported a spectral …

Improvisation of fuzzy c-means method and fuzzy linear regression model in predicting manufacturing income
… systems for modelling are influenced by human perception. Analysis by human perception could not be solved using traditional method since uncertainty within the data have to be dealt with. Thus, fuzzy structure system is considered. The objectives of this study were to: determine suitable …
