For cognitive neuroscientists studying shape representation, this is an incremental methodological proposal without demonstrated effectiveness.
The paper presents a procedure for approximating plane contours using spline curves with tunable parameters, aiming to study shape representation in cognitive neuroscience. No concrete results or numbers are reported.
We present a procedure to approximate a plane contour by piecewise polynomial functions, depending on various parameters, such as degree, number of local patches, selection of knots. This procedure aims to be adopted to study how information about shape is represented.
