Abstract
In this paper, we propose a method for “touching a landscape in a photograph.” In concrete terms, it is an image processing to simplify images and making images tactile by a stereo copying machine. How much we simplify images depends on subject’s groping strategy. Experiments are carried about three images which they are different in their complexity of texture. The results show that frequency of large hand movements correlate with complexity of image texture.
