After the viewpoint debate: where next in object recognition?

Abstract

A debate on whether object representations capture isolated viewpoints or ranges of views has dominated research in object recognition in recent years, but now seems to be waning. Rather than assume a narrow model in which either structural or view information is used to recognize an object, researchers have begun to examine how these properties might be used cooperatively. A recent paper by Foster and Gilson confirms sensitivity to both types of information, which combine in an additive framework to predict recognition performance.
