6. Pattern Recognition E. Gibson’s Feature Theory »Complex stimuli are composed of distinctive and separable parts called features. »Pattern recognition is accomplished by counting the presence or absence of a checklist of features. »Gibson’s specification of the feature set ◊Features must be critical ◊Identity should be unchanged by brightness, size and perspective. ◊Yield a unique pattern for each letter ◊As small a set as possible.

15. d a b c Pattern Recognition Problems with Feature theory »How features go together are as important as the features themselves.

16. Pattern Recognition Structural Theories »Like feature theories, except that they also consider the structure of the features (i.e., How they go together. »Biederman’s Theory of 3-d object recognition. ◊Geons: 3-D ‘volume’ features

17. Pattern Recognition »Eliminating information about the relationship between volumes/features should be detrimental to pattern recognition. ◊ E.g.,

26. Pattern Recognition Bottom-up processing »“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts” »Perception involves an interplay between bottom-up and top-down processes.

27. Top-down processes Perception requires an interplay between top down and bottom up processes E.g., Cxn xox rxax txix oxe xhxcx hxs xvxrx oxhxr xextxr xixsxnx?
