Abstract Analysis of deformable two-dimensional shapes is an important problem,
encountered in numerous pattern recognition, computer vision and computer graphics …

Five experiments were conducted to examine whether varying certain perceptual attributes
of study and test items influences priming on pictorial tasks. Priming was found to be specific …

An investigation of the role of parts and their spatial relations in object identification is
reported. At the most general level, two important results were obtained. First, proper spatial …

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 …

This paper examines the feasibility of manifesting compositionality by a system of synfire
chains. Compositionality is the ability to construct mental representations, hierarchically, in …

This paper examines four current theoretical approaches to the representation and
recognition of visual objects: structural descriptions, geometric constraints, multidimensional …

Image analysis and graphics synthesis can be achieved with learning techniques using
directly image examples without physically-based, 3D models. In our technique:--the …

Scene processing is fundamentally influenced and constrained by spatial layout and spatial
associations with objects. However, semantic information has played a vital role in …

A basic problem of visual perception is how human beings recognize objects after spatial
transformations. Three central classes of findings have to be accounted for:(a) Recognition …

Mind and mental activity are very abstract scientifically concepts. Nevertheless, you
immediately get some clarity when you think about determinants of human behavior. There …
