    Psychophysical and Physiological Evidence For Viewer-Centered Object Representations in The Primate

    This study examined object recognition in rhesus macaques through psychophysical testing and neural recordings. The monkeys were trained to recognize novel 3D wireframe objects from different views. Psychophysical tests found recognition fell off sharply beyond 30-40 degrees of the trained view. Neural recordings in the anterior medial temporal sulcus found most cells responded selectively to a single view of an object (71 of 773 cells), with a small number responding across views (8 cells). The authors concluded object recognition depends on trained views, and storing multiple views allows for view invariance, supported by neurons encoding specific views of learned objects.

    Psychophysical and Physiological

    Evidence for Viewer-centered Object


    Representations in the Primate

    N.K. Logothetis and J. Pauls

    Cerebral Cortex (1995)


    Background

    Image Input Match ?


    Transformations representation Recognition

    Stored memory
    representations
    Theories of object representations
    3D models (Marr, Biederman)
    View dependent 2D templates (Basri & Ullman, Poggio)

    Face selective cells


    Found in STS
    Mostly view dependent
    Methods
    Trained three juvenile rhesus macaques on an object
    recognition task
    Performed psychophysical tests after training
    Recorded from the upper bank of the anterior medial
    temporal sulcus (AMTS)

    Stimuli:
    Computer generated ‘wire like’
    and ‘amoeboid’ objects
    Training

    Began with training


    monkeys to recognize a
    single view of an object
    presented sequentially
    among distractor objects
    Slowly increased rotations
    up to + or – 90o before
    training with a new object
    Feedback with juice reward
    Testing
    Recordings
    Recorded from 773 neurons in AMTS
    Findings—psychophysical
    Recognition performance fell off sharply when object
    rotated more than 30-40o beyond training view
    Both for wire and amoeboid objects
    Findings—psychophysical
    Interpolation with wire objects
    Monkeys could interpolate between two training views up
    to 120o apart
    Three to five views
    allowed monkey to
    generalize to entire
    ‘great circle’
    Findings—psychophysical
    ‘Pseudo-mirror symmetrical’ wire objects
    Some of the wire
    objects have mirror
    symmetrical 0o and
    180o views due to lack
    of self-occlusion
    Findings—psychophysical
    Viewpoint invariance for ‘basic’ objects
    among different class distractors
    Findings—physiological
    View specific,
    object specific
    cells (71 of 773)

    Cell responses to distractor views


    Cell responses to target views
    Findings—physiological
    View invariant,
    object specific
    cells (8 of 773)
    Findings—physiological
    Findings—physiological

    Multiple cells tuned to


    different views of the same
    object
    Author’s conclusions:
    Object recognition depends on training view
    A small number of stored views can be used to achieve
    invariance with wire like objects
    Neurons in IT found that respond selectively to learned
    objects, mostly to specific views

    Problems:
    Highly unnatural stimuli
    View selective neurons used for recognition or after
    recognition?
    Interpolation with self occluded (solid) objects?
