Abstract:
A novel method for feature extraction has been applied to a problem of three-dimensional object recognition (Intrator and Gold, 1991). The method is related to
recent statistical theory (Huber, 1985; Friedman, 1987) and is derived from a biologically motivated computational theory (Bienenstock, Cooper and Munro,
1982). Results of an initial study replicating recent psychophysical experiments (Bulthoff and Edelman 1991) demonstrated the utility of the proposed method for
feature extraction. We describe further experiments designed to analyze the nature of the extracted features, and their relevance to the theory and psychophysics
of object recognition.
