Visual object recognition is complicated by the fact that the same 3D object can give rise to a
large variety of projected images that depend on the viewing conditions, such as viewing …

Successful vision systems must overcome differences in two-dimensional input shapes
arising from orientation changes in three-dimensional objects. How the human visual system …

This paper describes an experiment to distinguish between two theories of human visual
object recognition. According to the view-specificity hypothesis, object recognition is based …

Successful object recognition is essential for finding food, identifying kin, and avoiding
danger, as well as many other adaptive behaviors. To accomplish this feat, the visual system …

In this report we discuss a variety of psychophysical experiments that explore different
aspects of the problem of object recognition and representation in human vision. In all …

Does the human brain represent objects for recognition by storing a series of two-
dimensional snapshots, or are the object models, in some sense, three-dimensional analogs …

Image-based techniques for object recognition have recently been developed to recognize a
specific three-dimensional object after a 'learning'stage, in which a few two-dimensional …

This report describes the main features of a view-based model of object recognition. The
model does not attempt to account for specific cortical structures; it tries to capture general …

We report four experiments that investigated the representation of novel three-dimensional
(3D) objects by the human visual system. In the first experiment, canonical views were …

It is shown that both changes in viewing position and illumination con (cid: 173) ditions can
be compensated for, prior to recognition, using combinations of images taken from different …
