On the Visual Perception of Shape Analysis and Genesis through Information Models

“Vision is continuous creation of meaning from images. ” — R. L. Gregory [15] Abstract. Shape is the structure of a localised field constructed in relation to an object, which e.g. consists of geometric entities in association with each sam-ple of the object being scrutinized. To identify or characterise shape, we need to “probe ” the field [27,35]. In this paper I consider the visual perception of shape via “information models ” defined as simultaneously usable for both tasks of: (i) Genesis, i.e. the creation of an internalised world construct, part of a “presenta-tion ” [28], and (ii) Analysis, i.e. stimuli processing to produce perceptual cues to steer the generative engine as well as for verification of the generated percepts
