Recognition of objects from their visual images is a key function of the primate brain. This recognition is not a template matching between the input image and stored images like the vision in lower animals but is a flexible process in which considerable change in images, resulting from different illumination, viewing angle, and articulation of the object, can be tolerated. Recent experimental findings about the representation of object images in the inferotemporal cortex, a brain structure that is thought to be essential for object vision, are summarized and discussed in relation to the computational frames proposed for object recognition.
从视觉图像中识别物体是灵长类动物大脑的一项关键功能。这种识别并非像低等动物的视觉那样是输入图像与存储图像之间的模板匹配，而是一个灵活的过程，在此过程中，由不同光照、视角和物体关节运动所导致的图像显著变化是可以被容忍的。本文总结并讨论了近期关于颞下皮质（一种被认为对物体视觉至关重要的脑结构）中物体图像表征的实验发现，并将其与为物体识别提出的计算框架相关联。
