Document Summary
Seconding and tertiary; interpretation to those lines and edges. Matching what we perceived to a memory that you have experienced before. A template stored representation of an object which enables object recognition. Process of pattern/object recognition depends on use of templates or prototypes. Compare configuration to prototype, and if it matches we can identify the object. Might need a template for every angle. = the idea that we recognize objects by matching every pixel or feature input to a representation in memory = problematic. Discussion of the role of experience and quality. Issue#2 retinal image changes when viewing object from a different angle (viewpoint) Therefore, the representation of an object stored in memory cannot correspond to a single specific view of the object. Major support is a class of theory we look into is known as. = a class of theories of object recognition that proposes the representations of objects do not change when the viewpoint changes.
