PS260 Chapter Notes - Chapter 3: Outline Of Object Recognition, Visual Search, Object Model
Document Summary
For humans, the vision is the dominant sense. We usually place our trust in vision known as ventriloquism. first, form perception: the process through which you manage to see what the basic shape and size of an object are. Next, the problem of object recognition: the process through which you identify what the object is. Without recognition, you cannot bring your knowledge to bear on the world. Object recognition is also crucial, one must combine new info with info learned previously, and for this to happen, one must categorize things properly. Without proper categorization, there is no way to combine and integrate info. When looking at a figure or drawing, it is neutral with regard to figure/ground organization: the determination of what is the figure and what is the ground. Our perceptions contain info about how the form is arranged in depth, or about which part of the necker cube the form is figure and which is ground.
