Visual perception of rigidity of solid shape.

J J Koenderink, A J van Doorn

    Journal of Mathematical Biology
    |April 29, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Organisms create internal models of objects, predicting visual changes during movement. This allows perception of objective properties, not just changing retinal images.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Science
    • Computational Neuroscience
    • Computer Vision

    Background:

    • Organisms perceive objective object properties, not just dynamic retinal images.
    • Understanding the mechanism of this perceptual stability is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To mechanize how organisms perceive objective object properties.
    • To develop a computational model for visual object perception.

    Main Methods:

    • Synthesizing an internal model representing expectations of visual input transformations.
    • Extracting the model's structure from invariant sensory input features.
    • Utilizing the internal model for predicting object contours during spatial transformations.

    Main Results:
