Line Drawings of 3D Shapes

Gauges showing peoples' interpretation of a drawing of the rockerarm model.

Welcome

This site contains information on the SIGGRAPH 2009 paper "How Well Do Line Drawings Depict Shape?," which examines how people interpret line drawings, both hand-drawn and computer-generated, and when depiction succeeds and fails.

The results of this study are available in full from this site.
