Perceiving Shape from Surface Contours via Artificial Neural Networks

This thesis explores the challenge of teaching a machine how to perceive shape from surface contour markings. Such markings are commonly used in clothing, data visualizations, and other man-made constructs, because humans have an apparently natural ability to interpret them. By glancing at a simple...
