Abstract
David Marr's approach to the study of vision has been tremendously influential. However, the approach proposes the goal of computing invariant shape descriptions from imagebased information, a task that appears implausible, given the tremendous variation that can occur between images displaying a single object. Theorists in the field of three-dimensional object recognition have rejected the approach of computing object-centered representations, and instead propose representations of objects from the perspective of a viewer. If object-centered descriptions of objects exist in the brain, they are more likely to underlie motor interaction with objects rather than visual object understanding.
