Verification of the Result of a Psychological Experiment on Similarity for Ambiguously Shaped Patterns by the Induction Field Model in Vision

Abstract

The induction field model can be used to explain some experimental psychological results of a pattern recognition process for ambiguously shaped patterns. A lot of psychological experiments have been carried out to find the recognition process and the features of ambiguously shaped patterns. However, there is no mathematical model that can explain the results of psychological experiments for ambiguously shaped patterns. Recently, the focus has been on dynamics as the concept that explains the recognition process. Furthermore, the induction field model based on dynamics can explain some psychological experimental results for some artificial patterns and letters. This paper verifies that this model can explain some psychological experimental results for ambiguously shaped patterns.
