Abstract

Prompted by the title of Ernst Cassirer’s 1944 essay, the origin of the idea of a Group theoretical approach, in the mathematical sense, in vision science is here explored, as well as the several ways in which its implementation had been attempted. That object recognition might proceed by a more generative approach rather than by separate individual cataloging had already been argued by Kant, and Cassirer examined how mathematical group theory might be called on for this purpose, in view of the success of its use in geometry and in the physical sciences. However, such a promise appears unlikely in view of the categorical differences between analysis of mental phenomena and of the physical world.

群体概念和感知理论

在恩斯特-卡西勒（Ernst Cassirer）于 1944 年发表的论文标题的启发下，本文探讨了在视觉科学中采用数学意义上的群论方法这一想法的起源，以及尝试实施这一方法的几种途径。康德已经提出，物体识别可以通过一种更具生成性的方法来进行，而不是通过单独的编目来进行。鉴于数学群论在几何学和物理科学中的成功应用，卡西勒研究了如何利用数学群论来实现这一目的。然而，鉴于对精神现象的分析与对物理世界的分析之间的本质区别，这样的承诺似乎不太可能实现。

期刊介绍： Vision Research is a journal devoted to the functional aspects of human, vertebrate and invertebrate vision and publishes experimental and observational studies, reviews, and theoretical and computational analyses. Vision Research also publishes clinical studies relevant to normal visual function and basic research relevant to visual dysfunction or its clinical investigation. Functional aspects of vision is interpreted broadly, ranging from molecular and cellular function to perception and behavior. Detailed descriptions are encouraged but enough introductory background should be included for non-specialists. Theoretical and computational papers should give a sense of order to the facts or point to new verifiable observations. Papers dealing with questions in the history of vision science should stress the development of ideas in the field.
