To address the fundamental question of “what are the primitives of visual perception”, a
theory of topological structure and functional hierarchy in visual perception has been …

How we recognize faces despite rotations in depth is of great interest to psychologists,
computer scientists and neurophysiologists because of the accuracy of human performance …

We propose that similarity is determined by the transformation distance between
representations: entities which are perceived to be similar have representations which are …

It is proposed that the cognitive system imposes patterns on the world according to a
simplicity principle: Choose the pattern that provides the briefest representation of the …

A theory of voluntary, top-down control of visual spatial attention is presented that explains
how linguistic cues like" above,"" below,"" left," and" right" are used to direct attention from …

Machine perception requires the digitization of physically-sensed signals. During the last ten
years, digital range images have become available from a variety of sensors. This book is …

Until recently, the transformational approach provided the only available formal analysis of
visual regularities like repetition and mirror symmetry. This theoretical study presents a new …

The authors describe an approach to perceptual grouping for detecting and describing 3-D
objects in complex images and apply it to the task of detecting and describing complex …

A model of visual perception and recognition is described. The model contains:(i) a low-level
subsystem which performs both a fovea-like transformation and detection of primary features …
