Abstract In 1912, Max Wertheimer published his paper on phi motion, widely recognized as
the start of Gestalt psychology. Because of its continued relevance in modern psychology …

We see the world in scenes, where visual objects occur in rich surroundings, often
embedded in a typical context with other related objects. How does the human brain analyse …

The perceptual recognition of objects is conceptualized to be a process in which the image
of the input is segmented at regions of deep concavity into an arrangement of simple …

We study the problem of creating a complete model of a physical object. Although this may
be possible using intensity images, we here use images which directly provide access to …

A new information-theoretic approach is presented for finding the pose of an object in an
image. The technique does not require information about the surface properties of the …

A series of search experiments tested detection of targets distinguished from the distractors
by differences on a single dimension. Our aim was to use the pattern of search latencies to …

This long-awaited work by prominent Harvard psychologist Stephen Kosslyn integrates a
twenty-year research program on the nature of high-level vision and mental imagery. Image …

We present a method to learn and recognize object class models from unlabeled and
unsegmented cluttered scenes in a scale invariant manner. Objects are modeled as flexible …

Self-supervised pretraining has been shown to yield powerful representations for transfer
learning. These performance gains come at a large computational cost however, with state …

Fundamental to spatial knowledge in all species are the representations underlying object
recognition, object search, and navigation through space. But what sets humans apart from …
