Shape-to-color associations in non-synesthetes: perceptual, emotional, and cognitive aspects
… the many examples of associations between shape/color-stimuli on one hand and stimuli of different sensory nature on the other hand, little is known about the way shape and color are interrelated with each other. The purpose of our research was to test whether non-synesthetes also exhibit …

A Creative Project in Printmaking Dealing With the Production of a Series of Original Prints Using Multiple Plates Printed in Relief and Intaglio Techniques
… of separate plates through the combination of shape, color and implied narrative qualities; 2. by developing the contour of the total composition as a secondary visual effect of the multiple plates with no limitation as to media, material, or color within the production of the print.

Data-driven clustering for new garment forecasting
… since the data was intractable for a computer: shape, color, fit, etc. By using natural language processing (NLP) techniques that preserve semantics, in combination with traditional data-mining, we unlock the potential to use these garment characteristic and embed them in a numerical space …

LandEscape
<p>Shape, color and line are three basic elements I use to explore the possibilities of visual language. The process in itself is important since what is left on the paper are simply records of moments from which a work is constructed. These moments are mixtures of my memory, my everyday …

The bilingual advantage in switching: Are two better than one?
Most previous studies of the bilingual advantage analyzed speed and accuracy results from the same task separately. Using this method, some found advantages in switching tasks that favor bilinguals while others have not, and there is ongoing controversy regarding the existence of the bilingual …

Object localization in natural images
… want to reason about object properties such as shape, color or pose, and infer the relationship between different objects. Object localization is also a challenging task. Intra-class variance as well as differences in illumination, viewing distance and viewpoint all make objects within the same …

A system for image-based modeling and photo editing
… where each layer is an image that encodes both color and depth. A suite of user-assisted tools are employed, based on a painting metaphor, to extract layers and assign depths. The system enables editing from different viewpoints, extracting and grouping of image-based objects, and modifying the …

Distributed Activity Patterns for Objects and Their Features: Decoding Perceptual and Conceptual Object Processing in Information Networks of the Human Brain
… activity patterns for an object's specific shape, color, and identity become active at different stages of the visual hierarchy. Brain activity patterns were recorded with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) as participants searched for specific fruits or vegetables within visual …

Evaluation of SpermTracker paper and spray for the visualization of seminal stains
… wide array of evidentiary items ranging in size, shape, color, texture, porosity etc. When an item is received, the analyst must first decipher what biological fluid is suspected to be present, and then how to analyze the item for that fluid. Blood, saliva, and semen are all common body fluids …

Behavioral Responses of Diabroticite Beetles to Selected Olfactory and Visual Cues (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
… The attractant effects of visual cues (shape, color and trap height) in the presence and absence of chemical attractants were also evaluated. Studies were carried out under field conditions, using naturally occurring populations of Diabroticite beetles in a field of Blue Hubbard squash …

Genetic variation in fast-evolving East African cichlid fishes: an evolutionary perspective
… numerous morphological (eg. jaw and tooth shape, color patterns, visual sensitivity), behavioral (eg. bower-building) and physiological (eg. development, neural patterning) phenotypes have emerged, much akin to a mutagenic screen. This dissertation encompasses three studies that seek to …

Novel color and local image descriptors for content-based image search
… novel image descriptors based on texture, shape, color, and local information for advancing content-based image search. Specifically, first, a new color multi-mask Local Binary Patterns (mLBP) descriptor is presented to improve upon the traditional Local Binary Patterns (LBP) texture …

Evaluating microbial safety, postharvest quality, and consumer acceptability of fresh produce engraved with QR codes using a CO₂ laser labeling technology
… to large variations among produce types (size, shape, color), the performance of this technology varies, and little information is known about its effects on postharvest quality, microbial safety, and consumer acceptability. The first chapter of the thesis provides background information on the …

Object detection and activity recognition in digital image and video libraries
… information retrieval system is proposed where shape, color and motion characteristics of objects of interest are captured in compressed and uncompressed domains. The proposed retrieval method provides object detection and activity recognition at different resolution levels from low complexity …

The generation and maintenance of diversity in a rapid adaptive radiation
… of phenotypes (e.g. trophic morphology, tooth shape, color patterns, behavior, development). The unique characteristics of this system have produced unparalleled diversity with very little genetic differentiation between species. This dissertation is composed of four studies addressing …

Demonstration of Optical Microscopy and Image Processing to Classify Respirable Coal Mine Dust Particles
… particle features, including particle size, shape, color, texture, and optical properties. However, a simple stepwise method that uses birefringence for separating coal particles first and then classifying silica particles proved most effective. One particular challenge to the silica …

Chemical Analysis, Databasing, and Statistical Analysis of Smokeless Powders for Forensic Application
… controlled powder characteristics such as shape, color, and dimension; as well as, the relative intensities of the class associated ions determined from cluster analysis. Samples were predicted to belong to a manufacturer based on the highest posterior probability. Overall percent correct …
