Midlevel Vision • Combine features into objects • Early visual processing • Interprets what we see • Committee • Laws of organization • Visual illusions
Gestalt Laws • Form or configuration of a pattern • Universal patterns we recognize as a group • Sum is greater than the parts
Specific Laws • Web site: http://sites.sinauer.com/wolfe3e/chap4/startF.htm • Chapter 4
Occlusion • Kaniza figure • Contours not really there • Visual system infers that square is occluding the circle
Occlusion • Relatability • Edges relate across gaps
Figure Ground • Segmentation • Surroundness • Size • Symmetry • Parallelism
Global Superiority Effect • Our global perception can inhibit local perception
Models of Object Recognition • Template model • Problem is that we need to many templates • Not enough neurons to handle this.
Models of Object Recognition • Structural model • Assumes that common structures give rise to the perception of the object. • Should be independent of viewpoint
Models of Object Recognition • Pandomonium model • Recognition by committee • Neural network that can learn
Models of Object Recognition • Website: http://sites.sinauer.com/wolfe3e/chap4/startF.htm
Face Recognition • Face inversion effect • http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/
Face Recognition • Prosopagnosia: patient has difficulty identifying faces. • May know it is a face but not who it is. • Can recognize other objects.
Object Recognition • What pathway • Temporal lobe • Agnosia
Types of Agnosia • Poor perception of whole picture • Problems associated object with name • Can be in quite specific categories
Types of agnosia • Color • Specific categories • Alexia
Form Perception • Infants • Habituation • Form constancy • Figure ground
Form Perception • Feature analysis • Comparison • Memory • Developmental characteristics
