We present a computational method to create a new illusionary solid sign inspired by two kinds of illusions, "hollow mask illusion" and "crater illusion". The three dimensional vertices of the illusionary solid sign are obtained by the straight line Voronoi diagram for a given base shape. We also provide a specific example of our new illusionary solid sign, so-called hollow arrow sign. Just like the name implies, our new sign has a hollow structure. However, we perceive the sign as a bulgy…

Computational Creation of a New Illusionary Solid Sign with Shading Effect

We present a computational method to create new illusionary solid signs inspired by two kinds of illusions; “hollow mask illusion” and “crater illusion”. The three-dimensional vertices of the
A Single Solid That Can Generate Two Impossible Motion Illusions
We discovered three-dimensional solids that can generate two different impossible motion illusions. When such a solid is seen from two particular viewpoints, two different shapes are perceived. In
A single solid that can generate two impossible motion illusions.
Three-dimensional solids that can generate two different impossible motion illusions are discovered that are seen from two particular viewpoints and in both cases the perceived physical motion appears to be impossible.
Computational Geometry in the Human Brain
This work uses visual illusions to investigate how the human brain treats geometric data, and points out the similarities between the robustness of human geometric processing and the topology-oriented principle, which is proposed for use in the design of robust geometric algorithms for computers by presenting a new algorithm for straight skeletons.
On Computing Straight Skeletons by Means of Kinetic Triangulations

• 2012
The main practical contribution is strong experimental evidence that the number of flip events that occur in the kinetic triangulation of real-world data is linear in the number n of input vertices, and that the implementation of Surfer, the fastest straight-skeleton code currently available, runs in $\ensuremath\mathcal{O}(n \log n)$ time on average.
Computing Mitered Offset Curves Based on Straight Skeletons
• Computer Science
• 2014
This work extends and adapt Aichholzer and Aurenhammer's triangulation-based straight-skeleton algorithm to make it process real-world data on a conventional finite-precision arithmetic and demonstrates the practical suitability of using straight skeletons for the offsetting of complex PSLGs.
Computing Mitered Offset Curves Based on Straight Skeletons
• 2014
We study the practical computation of mitered and beveled offset curves of planar straight-line graphs (PSLGs), i.e., of arbitrary collections of straight-line segments in the plane that do not

The Hollow-Face Illusion: Object-Specific Knowledge, General Assumptions or Properties of the Stimulus?

• 2007
It is argued that the hollow-face illusion arises owing to a convexity preference when the raw data have ambiguous interpretations, however, using a familiar object with typical orientation, shading, and pigmentation greatly enhances the effect.

Three experiments were conducted to investigate factors contributing to the ‘hollow face’ illusion. A novel method was employed in which the distance from the mask at which the illusion became

Results in both experiments confirm previous studies that observers prefer stimuli lit from the left rather than the right and demonstrate that left-lit stimuli give the observers a more sensitive perception of the shape of the objects.
A Novel Type of Skeleton for Polygons

A new internal structure for simple polygons, the straight skeleton, is introduced and discussed. It is composed of pieces of angular bisectores which partition the interior of a given n-gon P in a
The prevalence of countershading in a variety of species, including many fishes, suggests that shading may be a crucial source of information about three-dimensional shape.
This work finds that perception of shape from shading is a global operation which assumes that there is only one light source illuminating the entire visual image, and that if two identical objects are viewed simultaneously and illuminated from different angles, then the authors would be able to perceive three-dimensional shape accurately in only one of them at a time.

The results suggest that the interpretation of shadows begins with the identification of acceptable shadow borders by a cooperative process that requires consistent contrast polarity across a range of scales at each point along the border.

Results demonstrate that inversion effects due to image orientation can occur for several different types of pictorial representation and that many of these effects are incompatible with traditional explanations involving a perceptual bias for overhead illumination.
