Ciftcioglu, O. (author), Bittermann, M.S. (author)Comprehension of aesthetical color characteristics based on a computational model of visual perception and color cognition are presented. The computational comprehension is manifested by the machine’s capability of instantly assigning appropriate colors to the objects perceived. They form a scene with aesthetically pleasing characteristics. The...conference paper 2016

Chatzikonstantinou, I. (author), Bengisu, E. (author)This paper presents the design problem of furniture arrangement in a residential interior living space, and addresses it by means of evolutionary computation. Interior arrangement is an important and interesting problem that occurs commonly when designing living spaces. It entails determining the locations of interior elements such as tables,...conference paper 2016

Zhang, F. (author), de Ridder, H. (author), Fleming, Ronald W. (author), Pont, S.C. (author)MatMix 1.0 is a novel material probe we developed for quantitatively measuring visual perception of materials. We implemented optical mixing of four canonical scattering modes, represented by photographs, as the basis of the probe. In order to account for a wide range of materials, velvety and glittery (asperity and mesofacet scattering) were...journal article 2016

Stelling-Konczak, A. (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author), Commandeur, Jacques J F (author), Agterberg, Martijn J H (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)When driven at low speeds, cars operating in electric mode have been found to be quieter than conventional cars. As a result, the auditory cues which pedestrians and cyclists use to assess the presence, proximity and location oncoming traffic may be reduced, posing a safety hazard. This laboratory study examined auditory localisation of...journal article 2016

Onneweer, B. (author)Haptic technology is more and more widely used to improve human interaction with devices, for example in touch screens of smartphones that vibrate when touched. Another application is haptic-tele-manipulation where a human controls a slave manipulator (e.g. a surgical-robot) by using a master device (e.g. a joystick). In haptic-tele-manipulation...doctoral thesis 2016

Bittermann, M.S. (author), Ciftcioglu, O. (author)Studies on computer-based visual perception and aesthetical judgment for architectural design are presented. In the model, both color and the geometric aspects of human vision are jointly taken into account, quantifying the perception of an individual object, as well as a scene consisting of several objects. This is accomplished by fuzzy neural...conference paper 2016

Du, X. (author), Bokel, R.M.J. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)The authors wanted to prove that there is a large correlation between the concepts spatial openness and comfort (visual, wind speed and thermal) perception in people’s minds in a hot and humid climate in summer in order to be able to use spatial configuration parameters such as openness, connectivity and depth as a design tool for a comfortable...conference paper 2017

Lu, Z. (author), Coster, Xander (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Drivers of automated cars may occasionally need to take back manual control after a period of inattentiveness. At present, it is unknown how long it takes to build up situation awareness of a traffic situation. In this study, 34 participants were presented with animated video clips of traffic situations on a three-lane road, from an...journal article 2017

Hansmann-Roth, S. (author), Pont, S.C. (author), Mamassian, Pascal (author)The material property of glossiness, which is attributed to many objects in our daily life, is physically independent of the objects' color. However, perceived glossiness can change with the contrast between the highlight and the area around the specular highlight. Hitherto, experiments mainly investigated gloss on unicolored surfaces. It is...journal article 2017

Molin, E.J.E. (author), Blangé, J. (author), Cats, O. (author), Chorus, C.G. (author)The risk of being involved in an airplane accident is largely ignored in air passengers’ choice models. The reason presumably is that it is hard to operationalize, because objective safety indicators often involve extremely low probabilities that are hard to grasp and interpret by passengers. In this paper, we propose an operationalization...journal article 2017

Bazilinskyy, P. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Take-over requests in automated driving should fit the urgency of the traffic situation. The robustness of various published research findings on the valuations of speech-based warning messages is unclear. This research aimed to establish how people value speech-based take-over requests as a function of speech rate, background noise, spoken...journal article 2017

Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author)The plastic effect is historically used to denote various forms of stereopsis. The vivid impression of depth often associated with binocular stereopsis can also be achieved in other ways, for example, using a synopter. Accounts of this go back over a hundred years. These ways of viewing all aim to diminish sensorial evidence that the picture...journal article 2017

Jansen, S.J.T. (author), Hoekstra, J.S.C.M. (author), Boumeester, H.J.F.M. (author)The extraction of natural gas in the north of The Netherlands has led to soil subsidence and the occurrence of earthquakes. Residents worry about the safety of their families and the saleability of their dwelling and might want to move. The goal is to examine whether the earthquakes are related to the intention to move. A survey among...journal article 2017

The present study examined to what extent and in which traffic situations traffic sounds are important for safe cycling. Furthermore, the study investigated the...journal article 2017

(author)Tactile perception is a complex system, which depends on frictional interactions between skin and counter-body. The contact mechanics of tactile friction is governed by many factors such as the state and properties of skin and counter-body. In order to discover the connection between perception and tactile friction on textured stainless steel...journal article 2017
