From the book reviews:

“Reading Dickinson and Pizlo’s compilations is both enjoyable and educational, due to the wide collection of contributions in a single volumeThe book successfully addresses the balance between asking difficult questions, arguing certain answers and providing clues for future directions. … A recommended book to interested researchers working towards shape-based approaches to visua perception.” (Dima Damen, IAPR newsletter, Vol. 36 (3), July, 2014)


Zygmunt Pizlo is a professor of Psychological Sciences and of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. He has published over 100 journal and conference papers on all aspects of vision as well as on problem-solving. In 2008, he published the first book devoted to 3D shape-perception.

Yunfeng Li is a postdoctoral fellow at Purdue University. His research interests focus on applying psychophysics and mathematics to explore and model human visual perception of 3D shapes and scenes, regularization and Bayesian methods, and human and robot visual navigation.

Tadamasa Sawada is a postdoctoral researcher in the Graduate Center for Vision Research at SUNY College of Optometry. He has received his Ph.D. from the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2006 and had worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Purdue University (2006-2013) and at the Ohio State University
(2013-2014). He has been studying human visual perception using psychophysical experiments as well as mathematical and computational modeling.

Robert M. Steinman devoted most of his scientific career, which began in 1964, to sensory and perceptual process, heading this specialty area in the Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland in College Park until his retirement in 2008. Most of his publications, before collaborating on
shape perception with Prof. Pizlo, were concerned with human eye movements. Prof. Steinman, with Prof. Azriel Rosenfeld of the Center for Automation Research at UMD, supervised Prof. Pizlo's doctoral degree in Psychology, which was awarded in 1991. Prof. Steinman has been collaborating with Prof.
Pizlo in his studies of shape perception since 2000.
