For ambiguous scenes,\ntypically people move their head or change their position to see the scene from\ndifferent angles as well as seeing how it changes while they move; this\nresearch field is called active perception. The random scene generator\npresented is designed to support research in this field by generating images of\nscenes with known complexity characteristics and with verifiable properties\nwith respect to the distribution of features across a population. Thus, it is\nwell-suited for research in active perception without the requirement of a live\n3D environment and mobile sensing agent, including comparative performance\nevaluations.
