The perception of three-dimensional shape, material, and illumination

The project aims to understand how we perceive the material properties and structure of our visual world. Our successful behaviour requires having a clear representation of the material properties of the objects and surfaces that fill our environment, such as their shape and material properties. The human visual system is currently the most sophisticated computational system for deriving the three-dimensional structure and material properties of objects. The project plans to use new methods and stimuli to determine the information that the visual system uses to construct our representation of three-dimensional shapes and the material properties of objects, and the visual computations that underlie the extraction of this information. This may be applicable in in any domain in which the recovery of three-dimensional shape and material is critical (eg automated industry applications or medical scenarios).
