An approach to the analysis of the underlying structure of visual space using a generalized notion of visual pattern recognition

摘要

An approach is described by which certain deductions can be made concerning the natural underlying structure of visual space. The procedure is indirect and makes use of the notion of visual recognition defined with respect to an arbitrarily fixed structure. Consideration of the set of mappings associated with such recognition is shown to lead to a condition that must be satisfied by any proposed underlying structure.
