The perception of cast shadows
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 1998 When an object casts its shadow on a background surface, the shadow can be informative about the shape of the object, the shape of the background surface and the spatial arrangement of the object relative to the background. Among all these roles, we found that cast shadows were perceptually most relevant for the recovery of spatial arrangement ...

Imaging in turbid media using quasi-ballistic photons [PDF]
, 1999 We study by means of experiments and Monte Carlo simulations, the scattering of light in random media, to determine the distance upto which photons travel along almost undeviated paths within a scattering medium, and are therefore capable of casting a ...

Support structure tomography using per-pixel signed shadow casting in human manikin 3D printing
Fashion and Textiles, 2022 This study proposes an advanced algorithm for predicting the optimal orientation in human manikin 3D printing. We can print the manikin mesh data on any scale depending on the user’s needs. Once the 3D printing scale was determined, the manikin data were

Casting a Shadow on Lewis’s Theory of Causation
Organon F, 2019 First I present a puzzle involving two opaque objects and a shadow cast on the ground. After I offer a solution to this puzzle by identifying which of the objects is causally responsible for the shadow, I argue that this case poses a counterexample to ...

Casting shadows on holographic reconstruction [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2015 In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, we study several holographic probes that relate information about the bulk spacetime to CFT data. The best-known example is the relation between minimal surfaces in the bulk and entanglement entropy of a subregion in the CFT.

Objects Versus Shadows as Influences on Perceived Object Motion
i-Perception, 2016 The motion trajectory of an object’s cast shadow has been shown to alter the perceived trajectory of a casting object, an effect that holds even if the cast shadow appears unrealistic. This raises the question of whether a cast shadow per se is necessary

Stonehenge and Avebury: Megalithic shadow casting at the solstices at sunrise
Journal of Lithic Studies, 2017 The paper examines how specific megaliths at Stonehenge and Avebury were positioned relative to others and to particular sunrises such as to produce watchable effects arising from solar movement and resulting lithic shadows.
