Inverse perspective mapping simplifies optical flow computation and obstacle detection (2004, background): “It is therefore well in line with the "ecological" idea that biological information processing should be understood from the overall behavior that it subserves (Gibson 1950) rather than from the point of view of an "ideal observer" who is able to recover whatever information is present in the input.”
Recovering Surface Layout from an Image (2007, background): “While initial efforts in scene understanding focused largely on toy “blocks worlds” (Roberts, 1965; Guzman-Arenas, 1968), by the 1970s, several extremely sophisticated approaches were proposed for handling real indoor and outdoor images. For instance, Yakimovsky and Feldman (1973) developed a Bayesi”
The perception of egocentric distances in virtual environments - A review (2013, background): “Further, they support the environmental context hypothesis and the importance of a regularly structured ground texture as emphasized by several authors for real environments [e.g., Gibson 1950; He et al. 2004; Sinai et al. 1998; Wu et al. 2004].”
Resolving 3D Human Pose Ambiguities With 3D Scene Constraints (2019, background): “The world limits this movement and provides opportunities (affordances) [20].”
Outdoor education gives fewer demands for action regulation and an increased variability of affordances (2013, methodology): “When Gibson introduced his ecological approach to perception in 1979 he had used the previous 30 years (Gibson, 1950) to develop his theory.”
Egocentric Future Localization (2016, methodology): “Inspired by proxemics [12] and Gibson’s ‘ground theory’ of spatial perception [10], we represent the space around a camera wearer using an EgoRetinal map which reassembles an illustrated tourist map: an overhead map with objects seen from first person video projected onto it.”
The Perception-Action Coupling (1990, unknown): “Gibson (1950) first showed that translation through a stable environment generates a global radial pattern of optical flow at the moving point of observation (Figure 2).”
Place and the Promise of Conservation Psychology (2003, background): “Research in environmental perception conducted during the 1950s and 1960s by Gibson (1950, 1966) and Maslow and Mintz (1956) broke this mold.”
Affordances and Independent Mobility in the Assessment of Environmental Child Friendliness (2003, background): “Gibson, too, separated “literal” perception from “schematic” perception in his early works (Gibson, 1950).”
Reconciling simplicity and likelihood principles in perceptual organization. (1996, background): “lJ Gibson ( 1950, 1966, 1979) has, of course, argued that in the rich, ecologically valid conditions of normal perception, this underdetermination of the distal layout by the perceptual input does not apply.”
Scene perception: detecting and judging objects undergoing relational violations. (1982, background): “Although there can be no doubt that movement of the eye, observer, or elements of the scene can be critically important in conveying information about contour, the evidence for rapid comprehension of the scenes in the present experiments where such movement was impossible, calls into question those ”
Older women with diabetes have an increased risk of fracture: a prospective study. (2001, methodology): “Vision measures included corrected visual acuity [letter charts of Bailey and Lovie (22)], near depth perception [random dot method (23) in sec of arc], far depth perception scored as the sd of four trials [Howard-Dolman device (24)], and contrast sensitivity (25) (Vistech contrast sensitivity test ”
A Survey of Artificial Cognitive Systems: Implications for the Autonomous Development of Mental Capabilities in Computational Agents (2007, background): “…nontrivial behaviors that require the integration of visual stimuli and motoric control, including the perception of affordances, perception of time to contact, and figure-ground bistability [13], [92]–[95], the principled feasibility of higher order cognitive faculties has yet to be validated.”
Revisiting active perception (2016, background): “). What follows is a brief and selective history of the birth of the active perception paradigm. However, there is one source of motivation for the topic that deserves mention. The early work of J.J. Gibson (1950) proposed that perception is due to the combination of the environment in which an agen”
Statistical Modeling and Conceptualization of Visual Patterns (2003, background): “Historically,Attneave [3],Barlow[5], andGibson [35]were among the earliest who argued for the ecologic influence on vision perception.”
