Computational models reveal that intuitive physics underlies visual processing of soft objects by Wenyan Bi, Aalap D. Shah, Kimberly W. Wong, Brian J. Scholl, Ilker Yildirim

“…Yet many objects in our everyday environments, such as cloths, are soft. This poses both quantitatively greater and qualitatively different challenges for models of perception, due to soft objects’ dynamic and high-dimensional internal structure, as in the changing folds and wrinkles of a cloth waving in the wind. …”
