From rippled waves to striated skies, natural patterns afford a wonderful opportunity to contemplate nature’s most powerful expressions.

Symmetry detection represents a cornerstone in computer vision, fundamentally enhancing object recognition, reconstruction, and classification. Its significance lies in the capacity to identify ...

Visual homogeneity: The uniformity of visual elements which aids in detecting organised patterns. Reflection symmetry: A form of symmetry where one half of an object is a mirror image of the other.

A leopard is chasing a zebra, bound to follow the laws of nature and natural selection, down a sand dune and across a plain of dried mud, bound to the laws of geology and sediments. The stripes of ...

From mesmerizing symmetry of spiraling sunflower seeds to mirror-like sides of the human body, patterns dominate nature. Aesthetic appeal aside, what advantage does repetition afford? The question ...

Tyler presented subjects with a variety of patterns characterized by translation or reflection symmetry, and discovered that these stimuli activate a region around the middle occipital gyrus, a ...

Hence, there exists an abundance of symmetry in tile patterns worldwide—and in nature, whether radial (starfish, pine cones, the cross-section of a kiwi fruit) or bilateral (a butterfly, a maple ...

Before their third birthdays, children already have an adult-like preference for visual fractal patterns commonly seen in nature, report University of Oregon researchers.
