Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a substantial contribution in the field of artificial intelligence and computer graphics, presents a new methodology for solving a fundamental problem in vision science: the recognition of 3-D objects from a single 2-D image. The author, a computer scientist, brings together ideas from psychology, neurophysiology, and artificial intelligence to develop the Spatial Correspondence and Evidential Reasoning with Perceptual Organization (SCERPO) system. The book is organized into eight chapters, beginning with a look at the state of the art in computer vision at the time of its publication in 1986 and continuing with a ten-page chapter that discusses psychological insights that informed the author's research and design. The third chapter introduces the SCERPO system and provides a general overview of how its components work together to achieve object recognition. The remaining chapters describe detailed mathematical formulations and algorithms used in various stages of the system. The book concludes with a thoughtful discussion on the relationship between the SCERPO system and human vision, touching on the controversy surrounding the question of whether or not there is a separate "module" in the brain dedicated to recognizing faces. This book will be of value to researchers, academics, and graduate students in AI, computer graphics, and related fields.
