Abstract
Dynamic binding is a necessary prerequisite to structural description, but it is not straightforward to represent structural descriptions suitable for object recognition, given the limitations of dynamic binding (specifically, limitations of speed and reliability). This chapter presents a model of object recognition addressed to this problem. The model generates hierarchical representations that function as structural descriptions in the event of correct dynamic binding but that still support object recognition in the event of dynamic binding errors. The model can recognize objects rapidly (i.e., before dynamic binding is established) but has the properties of a structural description when dynamic binding is established correctly (e.g., it can recognize objects from novel viewpoints). The model provides an account of several phenomena in human object recognition, including the time course of recognition and viewpoint invariance and the role of attention in object recognition.
