20.500.12556/DKUM-96203 Approximate local reflection symmetry of projected land cadastre data Symmetry is an essential feature of many geometric objects. However, the world also contains many asymmetrical or approximately symmetrical objects. Detecting approximate symmetries is a rather weakly defined problem, as computer-detected approximate symmetry may not correspond to human opinion. The situation is even worse if the symmetry is not global but local. This paper investigates whether approximate local reflection symmetries found by a computer in real data are acceptable for human observers. To answer this question, a new simple approximate local reflection symmetry detection is proposed and run on land cadastre data in the form of planar point sets. The resulting symmetries are subject to user tests to study human acceptance of approximate local symmetry. The results show a relatively good correlation between symmetry detected by computers and perceived by humans. This finding provides a solid foundation for integrating both approaches in specific applications. To achieve this, further research is needed on how to utilize specific aspects of human symmetry perception in computer solutions, so that computer symmetry detection can better approximate human perception. symmetry geodata computer graphics human perception simetrija geopodatki računalniška grafika true false true Springer nature link Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://link.springer.com/journal/10109 © The Author(s) 2025 Članek v reviji 2025-12-09 12:00:32 2025-12-09 12:00:32 2026-05-28 03:08:50 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 607–628 Vol. 27 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2023-12-01 2025-11-14 2025-12-04 004.92 260329475 10.1007/s10109-025-00484-1 1435-5949 s10109-025-00484-1.pdf s10109-025-00484-1.pdf 1 4D91F0C784D67BD5DA2A1F55EBC02389 c47e65d18180868b887a01f4808c2cdf61ffd2823a1b8ea16b284ac0769011fc 1a4fbcba-59d8-11f1-8108-00155d580e34 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=206473 Fakulteta za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in informatiko 0 0 0
