We propose an offset contour method to generate patterns of contours based on the boundary of each projected ROI.
By highlighting individual contour lines, which encode categories of elevation values, within meaningful patterns of contour lines, which encode terrain shape, the novices may have been better able to make sense and extract useful information about both elevation and shape from the topographic maps, and to ignore the irrelevant information.
Second, the correspondence between patterns of contour lines on the map and surfaces in the world is difficult to grasp because there are no visible feature boundaries in the world that align to single contours on a topographic map (e.g., a line that shows where a hill starts or stops).
In Experiment 1, the speech during instruction contained information about both elevation (that contour lines are used to encode elevation information), and shape (that the patterns of contour lines resemble the shape of the three-dimensional structure in the real world).
In contrast to counter-current network, the co-current network of vessels leads to considerable asymmetric pattern of temperature contours and relocation of heat affected zone along the blood flow direction.
Taken together, Experiments 1 and 2 suggest that information conveyed in speech and information conveyed in gestures interact in complex ways to influence students' understanding of the encoding of elevation information and the shape of contour patterns.
The same pattern of the contour plots of the current density at the oxidation peak of the glycerol oxidation reaction at 30 °C is observed in Fig. 6b.
Patterns of the contours are almost the same for different Reynolds numbers; the only exception is a slight variation in velocity magnitude.
We propose a novel local shape descriptor based on the concept that the evolution pattern of geodesic iso-contour's length is a good representative for surface features.
It is also very interesting to note the successful use of shift-twist symmetry (see Sect. 3.2.4), a geometrical transformation which relates rotations on the cortical plane and rotations in the visual plane, in the study of hallucinatory patterns with contours [30] and of fine geometrical properties of V1 maps [31].
