Transforming sensory representations

摘要

TRANSFORMING SENSORY REPRESENTATIONS 5 A computer-implemented method and apparatus for modifying an entity sensory representation (102). An entity sensory representation (102) representing an entity (108) is received. The entity sensory representation (102) comprises a plurality of sensory representations (112) that represent a plurality of 0 items (110) that are part of the entity (108). Each of the plurality of items (110) is associated with a set of values (130) for a set of measurable factors of interest (124). A set of scale factors (138) is calculated for each of the plurality of sensory representations (112) based on the set of values 5 (130) associated with the each of the plurality of items (110). The plurality of sensory representations (112) is modified using the set of scale factors (138) to form a plurality of modified sensory representations (132) that establish a relative relationship between the plurality of items (110) represented by 0 the plurality of modified sensory representations (132) with respect to the set of measurable factors of interest (124).
