Shape is the major route by which we gain knowledge about our visual world. All
contemporary theories of shape-based object representation, eg, Hummel and Biederman …

This chapter discusses the problem of structure in shape perception and object recognition.
This problem, and the characteristics of its solution, provide a powerful set of tools for …

Visual shape recognition—the ability to recognize a wide variety of shapes regardless of
their size, position, view, clutter and ambient lighting—is a remarkable ability essential for …

This chapter reviews recent evidence, both behavioral and neural, that sheds light on the
nature of the object representation that results in a view‐invariant representation and leads …

In recent years, there has been a decided effort among many in the computer vision
community to achieve object recognition by mapping images and regions of images directly …

Recognition of objects is accomplished through the use of cues that depend on internal
representations of familiar shapes. We used a paradigm of perceptual learning during visual …

A rich behavioral literature has shown that human object recognition is supported by a
representation of shape that is tolerant to variations in an object's appearance …

Recent physiological findings are reviewed and synthesized into a model of shape
processing and object recognition. Gestalt laws (eg good continuation, closure) and 'non …

We determined the degree to which the response modulation of macaque inferior temporal
(IT) neurons corresponds to perceptual versus physical shape similarities. IT neurons were …

This article develops a view of shape representation both in visual experience and in
subpersonal visual processing. The view is that, in both cases, shape is represented in a …
