A primary goal has been to construct visual sensors that can provide general-purpose robots with the same information about their surroundings as we receive from our own visual senses. This book takes an important step towards this goal by describing a working computer vision system named SCERPO. This system can recognize known three-dimensional objects in ordinary black-and-white images taken from unknown viewpoints, even when parts of the object are undetectable or hidden from view. A second major goal of computer vision re- search is to provide a computational understanding of human vision. The research presented in this book has many implica- tions for our understanding of human vision, particularly in the areas of perceptual organization and knowledge-based recogni- tion. An attempt has been made to relate each computational result to the relevant areas in the psychology of vision. Since the material is meant to be accessible to a wide range of inter- disciplinary readers, the book is written in plain language and attempts to explain most concepts from the starting position of the non-specialist. vii viii PREFACE One of the most important conclusions ansmg from this research is that visual recognition can commonly be achieved directly from the two-dimensional image without any prelim- inary reconstruction of depth information or surface orienta- tion from the visual input.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45280703512727,"sku":"9781461296041","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781461296041.webp?v=1769297073","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/perceptual-organization-and-visual-recognition-9781461296041","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
