Effects of outline shape in object recognition

نویسنده

William G. Hayward

چکیده

The use of outline shape in recognizing objects was investigated in four experiments. In Experiment 1, subjects matched a shaded image to either another shaded image or a silhouette. In Experiment 2, subjects initially named shaded images; later they named either shaded images or silhouettes. Performance in both experiments was predicted by changes in the outline shape of the stimuli. The same matching (Experiment 3) and priming (Experiment 4) paradigms were then used to investigate recognition with objects that were rotated between presentations so as to change the outline shape of the object. Recognition was predicted by changes to outline shape. These results place constraints on models of object recognition, and are most compatible with viewpoint-dependent models of recognition.

Haptic Shape Processing in Visual Cortex

Humans typically rely upon vision to identify object shape, but we can also recognize shape via touch (haptics). Our haptic shape recognition ability raises an intriguing question: To what extent do visual cortical shape recognition mechanisms support haptic object recognition? We addressed this question using a haptic fMRI repetition design, which allowed us to identify neuronal populations se...

Image Indexing using Composite Color and Shape Invariant Features

New sets of color models are proposed for object recognition invariant to a change in view point, object geometry and illumination. Further, computational methods are presented to combine color and shape in-variants to produce a high-dimensional invariant feature set for discriminatory object recognition. Experiments on a database of 500 images show that object recognition based on composite co...
