A computer graphics algorithm is used to create complicated forms resembling invertebrate organisms. These natural morphologies are generated through the iteration of mathematical transformations. Several illustrations are chosen as examples of the diversity of biological structures which result from this technique.
While the spectrogram (and related graphic analyses) have been invaluable in showing the general frequency content of an input signal, sometimes it is difficult for trained and untrained users to see on the spectrogram differences which are perceptible to the ear. In this paper, several demonstrations of a novel representation are presented which, in some cases, can make subtle differences in input signals obvious to the human analyst. The representation, a "symmetrized dot pattern" (SDP), provides a stimulus in which local visual correlations are integrated to form a global percept and can potentially be applied to the detection and characterization of significant features of any sampled data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
