Description

These interconnected essays on three-dimensional visual object recognition present cutting-edge research by neuroscientific, cognitive and computational scientists of the field. Topics covered include: turning the perception of "two-tone" images into a method for understanding the nature of object representations in terms of surfaces and the interaction between bottom-up and top-down processes; using computer graphics to study whether view-point dependent recognition mechanisms can generalize between exemplars of perceptually defined classes; and using innovative psychophysical techniques to investigate dissociable aspects of visual and spatial processing in brain-injured subjects. The contributers bring a wide range of methodologies to bear on the common problem of image-based object recognition.
