| Abstract: |
The geometric shapes of the outside world objects hide an undisclosed emotional, psychological, artistic, aesthetic and shape-generating potential; they may attract or cause fear as well as a variety of other emotions. This suggests that living beings with vision perceive geometric objects within an information-handling process. However, not many studies have been performed for a better understanding of visual perception from the view of information theory and mathematical modelling, but the evidence first found by Attneave (1954) suggests that the concepts and techniques of information theory may shed light on a better and deeper understanding of visual perception. The quantity of information function can theoretically explain the concentration of information on the visual contours, and, based on this, we first propose the concept of the quantity of information continuous splines for visualization of shapes from a given set of discrete data without adding any in-between points with curvature extreme. Additionally, we first discover planar curve with a constant quantity of information function and demonstrate one of the conditions when a monotonic curvature curve has a constant quantity of information function. |
