I'm in the middle of my qualification exams and ran across this interesting paper:
Liu, Z Kersten, D Knill, DC Dissociating stimulus information from internal representation--a case study in object recognition. Vision research. 1999; 39(3): 603-12.
However, I'm very confused about them calling the figure on the left an object. This is a collection of objects in 3D space - making it a scene. I'm not sure that this nullifies their model - but this is not object recognition.
People should really start using ideal observer analysis with scene perception...

Vision is the process by which the brain converts the light stimuli into a mental world filled with abstract visual objects. If you stop to think about it, this is an incredible feat. There is nothing in the photons coming from two neighboring sections of an object that implies that they should…
How do we tell where an object is in a three-dimensional world when our eye only gives us two dimensions worth of information? Today's reading ("Moving Cast Shadows Induce Apparent Motion in Depth" by Daniel Kersten, Pascal Mamassian, and David Knill of the University of Minnesota [Perception, 1997…
It shouldn't take you long to notice what's wrong with this picture:
Obviously Nora is defying gravity in this shot -- you can't help but notice it. But in your first glance at the photo, how quickly do you notice what's wrong? Do you spot the oddity faster than you'd notice Nora in the original…
Umm. But, that is the point. They are an "object". They are an object called a "scene". I.e., when you look at them, you naturally group them together as one "thing". In a 3D application, you might even do this implicitly, if you planned to move them all at the same time, in the same way, or export them, then reimport them someplace else, or you wanted to make multiple copies of the same "collection" of objects. So, they "are" an object, at least in the sense that our brain sees them as "belonging" to the same meta-object.

I'm with you.
I'm teaching about opponent processes in color vision today and thought I'd share one of my favorite examples. This is how you use the human visual system to turn a black and white photo into color. Try it out:

I came across an example of object vs scene perception in rats yesterday. Basically, task performance after a lesion for novel object recognition appeared to depend on the size of the box the object was viewed in. The authors (review authors) interpreted this result as a encoding the object as an object vs as a feature in a scene.
Paper is here : http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/OldArchive/bbs.aggleton.html, the relevant paragraph is above section 3.2 and begins : "A final factor concerns the type of stimulus being tested."
