In many cases it is possible to discard all cues other than the outer boundary of an object, as shown by the silhouette in Figure 1, and the object can still be identified [ 9].
Previous research from this laboratory has found that one can replace the outer boundary of an object with a spaced set of dots, each being shown successively for only a tenth of a millisecond, and subjects can still name the object at a level that is far above chance [ 2, 3].
Use The Emperor's Force to destroy the outer covering of an object with red sparkles.
An attribute can be an "inner attribute", i.e., a property (Eigenschaft) of an object, or an "outer attribute", i.e., a relation (Verhältnis) among objects.
The thickness of an object's shell also plays a role: If the outer layer is very thin compared to its curvature, an object's surface will likely be convoluted, similar to a fingerprint.
The MWM detector now being developed by Jentek Sensors Inc., of Brighton, Mass., can reportedly determine the rough size, shape, depth of burial, and type of material of the outer shell of a buried metal object.
The basic effect of the opening operation is to reduce the outer shape of the object by erosion and to expand the outers.
Then a cursor was moved to trace the outer boundary of the object, marking the grid cells that were crossed by that boundary.
In those experiments, objects were represented using a sparse sampling of dots that marked the outer boundary of each object.
A cavity is by definition surrounded by a boundary region that is unconnected to the outer boundary of the object.
