Computer scientists introduce new graphics software Sophisticated geometric matching, machine learning mimic humans' perception of style, giving users powerful new tools to compare the style similarity of 3-D objects Source:  University of Massachusetts at Amherst   Summary: Computer scientists unveiled a new software modeling program that uses sophisticated geometric matching and machine learning to mimic humans' perception of style, giving users powerful new tools to compare the style similarity of 3-D objects The new first-of-its-kind structure-transcending software can benefit several computer graphics applications, researchers say. FULL STORY As the researchers explain, humans can perceive stylistic similarity between objects that transcends structure and function. For example, we can see a common style such as Danish modern' in both a table and chair, though they have different structures. Until now, machines have found it difficult to do t...
