We assessed the importance of outline contour and individual features in mediating the recognition of animals by examining response times and eye movements in an animal-object decision task (i.e., deciding whether or not an object was an animal that may be encountered in real life). There were shorter latencies for animals as compared with nonanimals and performance was similar for shaded line drawings and silhouettes, suggesting that important information for recognition lies in the outline contour. The most salient information in the outline contour was around the head, followed by the lower torso and leg regions. We also observed effects of object orientation and argue that the usefulness of the head and lower torso/leg regions is consistent with a role for the object axis in recognition.

Highway disaster alignment is a complex multi-object decision-making problem especially under frail environment conditions such as in mountainous areas. In addition, these objects do not have public characteristics. This paper established the multi-object functional decision making model from the topographic, geologic environmental aspect that may grow and become the cause of all kinds of highway disasters. Using the multi-object decision making theory, this model considered the multi-object forthe highway alignment from the qualitative and quantitative aspect, which has an important academic significance and applied value. In the end of this paper, an example of the analysis is given which indicated the model and its effectivness.
