Vision-based welding quality detection of steel bridge components in complex construction environments by Tianshi Hu, Xiuping Huang, Zuolei Yang, Zhixiong Liu, Jie Zhao, Zhao Xu

“…This paper presents a systematic study of welding quality detection of steel bridges based on fusion of point clouds and images in complex construction environments. (1) A welding detection system is developed that could filter out stray light and capture weld images. (2) This paper enhances the centerline extraction method in 3D reconstruction, which could effectively filter out noise interference and precisely reconstruct weld contours. …”

I’ve just seen a face: further search for face pareidolia in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) by Masaki Tomonaga

“…IntroductionSeeing faces in random patterns, such as in clouds, is known as pareidolia. Two possible mechanisms can cause pareidolia: a bottom-up mechanism that automatically detects inverted triangle or top-heavy patterns, and a top-down mechanism that actively seeks out faces. …”
