A self-organizing multiple-view representation of 3D objects

The form in which these models are best stored depends on the kind of information available in the input, and on the trade-off between the amount of memory allocated for the storage and the degree of sophistication required of the recognition process. In computer vision, a distinction can be made between representation schemes that use 3D object-centered coordinate systems and schemes that store viewpoint-specific information such as 2D views of objects.
