4. Technical Presentation

Zainab Meraj	Title : How Do People Draw Abstract: I will present the setup and results of two studies by Forrester Cole et al, on analyzing human line drawings. Both papers offer new techniques for conducting experiments in computer graphics and psychology related studies. In the first paper they study artist line drawings intended to convey 3D shape, and compare them with known CG line algorithm outputs for further analysis. In the second paper, Cole et al investigate closer how people interpret shape from sparse line drawings.
