Ellen Hildreth
Ellen Hildreth studies how visual information can support an understanding of shape and movement. Her work connects computational models with experiments on human perception. She develops computational models of human vision and conducts perceptual experiments. Her work studies how motion and stereo information contribute to understanding three-dimensional structure. Her models and experiments address locating object boundaries in changing scenes. The work examines how visual cues help distinguish surfaces and their depth.
