Conference on VISION AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL REPRESENTATION May 24-26, 1989 University of Minnesota Minneapolis, Minnesota The appearance of the three dimensional world from images pro- jected on our two dimensional retinas is immediate, effortless, and compelling. Despite the vigor of research in vision over the past two decades, questions remain about the nature of three di- mensional representations and the use of those representations for recognition and action. What information is gathered? How is it integrated and structured? How is the information used in higher level perceptual tasks? This conference will bring to- gether nineteen prominent scientists to address these questions from neurophysiological, psychological, and computational per- spectives. The conference is sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the University of Minnesota College of Liberal Arts in cooperation with the Departments of Psychology, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Child Development, and the Center for Research in Learning, Perception, and Cognition.
