"String" Objects

(.zip archive) This image set was created by Marion Zabinski using a program written by Volker Blanz and contains 40 (actually 39) objects composed of 5 parts per an object. Each object is composed of a linear chain of Geons. Objects were inspired by Poggio, Edelman & Bülthoff's work, as well Biederman and Gerhardstein's (1993) variation. The set (STANDARD COLORS only) include rotations in depth around the vertical axis of -90, -60, -30, 0, 30, 60, and 90 deg. There are actually 4 sets of 10 objects - as a default all parts are composed of "tubes." The sets vary in how many of the parts are unique Geons rather than tubes. Set 0 has no unique Geons in each object, Set 1 has 1 unique Geon in the middle of each object, Set 3 has 3 Geons in the middle of each object, and Set 5 has 5 Geons (and no tubes; an error resulted in only 9 objects in this set). File names are coded as: Set#.Object#.View. See Tarr, et al.'s (1997) Psychological Science article for experiments using these objects and more on this topic.
