Abstract: "Pizlo, Rosenfeld, and Weiss[6] suggest that people perceive two 2-D shapes as the same (i.e., there is shape constancy) when one shape might be a perspective image of the other. We argue that this hypothesis is both too broad and too restrictive. Their view is too broad because, as we show, two such images can appear quite different when there is significant perspective distortion. Their view is too restrictive because factors such as context and the complexity of the shapes compared can play a role in judgements of shape constancy. Moreover, Pizlo et al.''s formulation is asymmetric in requiring that one of the images be considered the model which produces the other. One can consider removing this asymmetry by judging shapes as the same when they could be two perspective views, taken with the same camera, of a third planar shape. We show that this is true if and only if the images are projectively equivalent. However, Pizlo et al. have convincingly rejected projective equivalence as a model of shape constancy."

For centuries, the inlet called the Golden Horn and the city on the hills overlooking it were situated in the middle of the known world. To the south, through the Dardanelles and the Aegean Sea, lay the Mediterranean, around which the Greek, Roman, Persian, and Arab worlds revolved. To the north, through the Bosporus, lay the Black Sea, with its Russian and eastern European coastline. And across the narrow Bosporus was Asia Minor, bridge to the Orient. Because of its strategic location, the city on the Golden Horn was coveted by a succession of different peoples. But even though it frequently was under siege, even though control of it often changed hands, and even though, indeed, it was conquered and leveled more than once, the city proved to be virtually immortal.Founded nearly twenty-seven centuries ago as the Greek colony of Byzantium, the city was harassed by the barbaric Thracians, attacked by the Persians, vied for by the Athenians and Spartans. Weakened and dispirited, its citizens finally were forced to seek the protection of Rome, and the city became little more than a Roman outpost. Then, in the fourth century, the Roman Emperor Constantine I decided to build his capital on the site. It was in the new city of Constantinople that ancient Greco-Roman culture was married to Eastern Orthodox Christianity and that Western civilization became Christian civilization. As the center of the vast Byzantine Empire, the city was one of the richest and most important on earth. But because of its wealth, it was sacked by the Crusaders in 1204. And because of its strategic location, it was conquered by the Ottoman Turks in 1453.Since then, as the city of Istanbul, it has remained an international metropolis, a city of East and West, a city whose great paintings, mosaics, statuary, and architecture reflect the many cultures that have been centered there and the many ages the city has survived. Here is its story.
