Prompted by the title of Ernst Cassirer’s 1944 essay, the origin of the idea of a Group theoretical approach, in the mathematical sense, in vision science is here explored, as well as the several ways in which its implementation had been attempted. That object recognition might proceed by a more generative approach rather than by separate individual cataloging had already been argued by Kant, and Cassirer examined how mathematical group theory might be called on for this purpose, in view of the success of its use in geometry and in the physical sciences. However, such a promise appears unlikely in view of the categorical differences between analysis of mental phenomena and of the physical world.
期刊介绍:
Vision Research is a journal devoted to the functional aspects of human, vertebrate and invertebrate vision and publishes experimental and observational studies, reviews, and theoretical and computational analyses. Vision Research also publishes clinical studies relevant to normal visual function and basic research relevant to visual dysfunction or its clinical investigation. Functional aspects of vision is interpreted broadly, ranging from molecular and cellular function to perception and behavior. Detailed descriptions are encouraged but enough introductory background should be included for non-specialists. Theoretical and computational papers should give a sense of order to the facts or point to new verifiable observations. Papers dealing with questions in the history of vision science should stress the development of ideas in the field.
