Estimating the Water Deficit Index of a Mediterranean Holm Oak Forest From Landsat Optical/Thermal Data: A Phenomenological Correction for Trees Casting Shadow Effects [PDF]
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2023 Land surface temperature (Ts) integrated in contextual evapotranspiration models can be used to derive the water stress level of forests. One difficulty of such models implemented over forests is related to the impact of trees casting shadows on the ...

Pacman in the sky with shadows: the effect of cast shadows on the perceptual completion of occluded figures by chimpanzees and humans [PDF]
Behavioral and Brain Functions, 2010 Background Humans readily perceive whole shapes as intact when some portions of these shapes are occluded by another object. This type of amodal completion has also been widely reported among nonhuman animals and is related to pictorial depth perception.

The multisensory body revealed through its cast shadows [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 One key issue when conceiving the body as a multisensory object is how the cognitive system integrates visible instances of the self and other bodies with one’s own somatosensory processing, to achieve self-recognition and body ownership. Recent research
