摘要: The importance of shape detection, representation and recognition is not disputed by any relevant discipline an integral part visual perception both animals machines. However, to date, there no comprehensive theoretical framework how deal with shape. Here, we present the beginnings such a attempt integrate means detect, represent recognize shapes, specifically two-dimensional silhouettes. Of note inclusion attentional scheme primarily because growing evidence that human involves capacity yet this might occur virtually unexamined. Secondarily, ability attend elements central our only shapes objects, but also reason about shape, solve problems involving manipulate perform spatial reasoning.
