"People change over time.
Open image in new window Fig. 12 Contour map over time structure map of horizon H3, map distribute with line that shows the different travel time of reflection area.
In a first step, contours are completed over time by generating groupings of like-oriented contrasts.

The bentgrass resulted in significantly faster putting surfaces, which has required a reduction in some of the contours of the greens over time.
Moreover, we demonstrate that the model is able to signal and complete illusory contours over a few time-steps.
Over time the layers of contours built up, giving a 3-dimensional representation of the 'landscape' of their journey.
