Efficiency of the human visual system for arbitrary observation aspects of three-dimensional objects

Abstract

This paper discusses the efficiency of the human visual system when it is being used to recognize three-dimensional test objects, the alphabet of which is given and limited, for the case in which the aspect angles at the recognition stage can be arbitrary. The studies are done by the method of comparative measurements. The experiments use a wide range of test objects: from the simplest images of three-dimensional graphics to complicated realistic images of three-dimensional portraits of people with superimposed texture.
