Surface versus Edge-Based Determinants of Visual Recognition.

Biederman, Irving; Ju, Ginny

Cognitive Psychology, v20 n1 p38-64 Jan 1988

The latency at which objects could be identified by 126 subjects was compared through line drawings (edge-based) or color photography (surface depiction). The line drawing was identified about as quickly as the photograph; primal access to a mental representation of an object can be modeled from an edge-based description. (SLD)
