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.
