The phrase "amount of contour" is not standard in written English and may cause confusion.
It could be used in contexts discussing the quantity or degree of contour in art, design, or physical features, but it is not commonly used.
Example: "The amount of contour in her drawing added depth and dimension to the landscape."
Alternatives: "degree of contour" or "level of contour".
Quantification of shape variation has proven to be particularly problematic; it has long been recognized that conventional linear measurements (and the indices derived from them), while replicable, summarize aspects of shape very poorly because of the vast amount of contour information that is lost in the process.
Both studies found an increased amount of contour interaction in adults with CN when compared to controls.
Duration of the foveation period, contrast, background colour and orientation played an important role in predicting the amount of contour interaction in the CN group.
Here, we define it as the amount of contour-given detail, qualifying the content in the image that needs to be processed in order to recognise the image as that of a familiar object (as per [2]).
Their functional roles differ - while colour facilitates recognition [1], additional amount of contours and edges delays it [2].
We examined the representation of surface detail (i.e., shading-defined texture and colour; Experiment 1), visual complexity (i.e., amount of contours; Experiment 2) and colour typicality (i.e., typical or atypical colour of colour diagnostic objects; Experiment 3).
Contour plots efficiency versus amount of nanocatalyst and contour plot efficiency versus temperature are presented in Fig. 13a, b.
Accordingly, the amount of irregularity in the contour increases the area difference between convex hull region and the tumor region, which corresponds to the level of malignancy.
Contour plot of amount of polymer vs. volume of organic phase at +1 level of drug/polymer ratio indicated PDE of more than 80%% when X2 varied from −0.5 to 0.9 level and X3 from 0 to +1.0 level (Fig. 3c).
Planar contours overlayed on image data are easily manipulated and linked contours reduce the amount of user interaction.1 This method solves the contour to contour correspondence problem and can capture extrema of objects in a more flexible way than manual segmentation of a stack of 2D images.
Amount of deformation is depicted in coloured contours, or "fringes".
