The problem of how three-dimensional form is perceived in spite of the fact that pertinent stimulation consists only in two-dimensional retinal images has been only partly solved.Abstract:
The problem of how three-dimensional form is perceived in spite of the fact that pertinent stimulation consists only in two-dimensional retinal images has been only partly solved. Much is known about the impressive effectiveness of binocular disparity. However, the excellent perception of threedimensional form in monocular vision has remained essentially unexplained. It has been proposed that some patterns of stimulation on the retina give rise to three-dimensional experiences, because visual processes differ in the spontaneous organization that results from certain properties of the retinal pattern. Rules of organization are supposed to exist according to which most retinal projections of three-dimensional forms happen to produce three-dimensional percepts and most retinal images of flat forms lead to flat forms in experience also. This view has been held mainly by gestalt psychologists. Another approach to this problem maintains that the projected stimulus patterns are interpreted on the basis of previous experience, either visualread more

Computational vision and regularization theory
TL;DR: Descriptions of physical properties of visible surfaces, such as their distance and the presence of edges, must be recovered from the primary image data and algorithms and parallel analog circuits that can solve ‘ill-posed problems’ and which are suggestive of neural equivalents in the brain are proposed.

Computational vision and regularization theory
TL;DR: A recent development in this field sees early vision as a set of ill-posed problems, which can be solved by the use of regularization methods as discussed by the authors, which are suggestive of neural equivalents in the brain.

Computation and cognition: Issues in the foundations of cognitive science.
TL;DR: The cognitive impenetrability condition as discussed by the authors states that a function cannot be influenced by such purely cognitive factors as goals, beliefs, inferences, tacit knowledge, and so on.

Perceiving Layout and Knowing Distances: The Integration, Relative Potency, and Contextual Use of Different Information about Depth*
TL;DR: This chapter discusses three questions and suggests that list making has misled about space and layout and can begin to understand how those sources of information sharing the same-shaped functions across distances can help ramify judgments of layout by serving to correct measurement errors in each.

Measurement and Modeling of Depth Cue Combination: in Defense of Weak Fusion
TL;DR: This paper argues that the MWF model is consistent with previous experimental results and is a parsimonious summary of these results, and describes experimental methods, analogous to perturbation analysis, that permit us to analyze depth cue combination in novel ways.

Effect of rotational axis and dimensional variations on the reversals of apparent movement in Lissajous figures.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extended the investigation into the stimulus determinants of Lissajous reversals to include the factors of axis of rotation and height-width ratio of pattern.
