Publisher: name: International Conference on Computer Vision Systems : Proceedings
Year: 2007

description: This paper presents a cognitive vision system based on the learning of lifting wavelets. The learning process consists of four steps: 1. Extract training and query object images automatically from adjacent video frames using our proposed cosine-maximization method; 2. Compute autocorrelation vectors from the extracted training images, and their discriminant vectors by linear discriminant analysis; 3. Map the autocorrelation vectors onto the discriminant vector space to obtain feature vectors; 4. Learn lifting parameters in the feature vectors using the idea of discriminant analysis. The recognition of a query object is performed by measuring cosine distance between its feature vector and the feature vectors for training object images. Our experimental results on vehicle types recognition show that the proposed system performs better than the discriminant analysis of original images.

Tamil Muslims
Creators: name: Kumar, Harini
Publisher: name: Database of Religious History (DRH)

description: Tamil Muslims are a community in southern India who practice Islam. Although a very diverse group, they share some common religious, cultural, and linguistic affinities. They are primarily located in Tamil Nadu, India, with populations spread across India, Sri Lanka, South East Asia, Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC), and the United States. Muslims in Tamil Nadu are not a monolithic community; they speak multiple languages (mainly Tamil, Urdu, Telugu, and Bohri Gujarati), and have diverse histories and practices. This entry primarily focuses on Tamil-speaking Muslims in India. Islam has a long and distinctive history in the Tamil region, at least since ninth century through centuries-old Arab trade, and largely separate from the more familiar narratives of Muslim conquest in north India. The circulation of religious practices and the maintenance of oceanic connections is an important aspect of both Tamil Muslim history as well as the present. The Tamil region has had historical connections with the Bay of Bengal littoral through the circulation of Muslims and their textual practices—between Tamil-speaking South India (Ma’bar) and Southeast Asia (Nusuntara)—since at least the fifteenth century. Coastal trading towns in Tamil Nadu became well-known for their religious spaces and institutions—mosques, dargahs (tomb-shrines of Muslim saints), and madrassas (Islamic religious schools). It was not just the southern coastal belt but also northern Tamil Nadu where notable Islamic seminaries were established. The inland city of Madurai was briefly ruled by the Madurai Sultanates in the fourteenth century, while the Urdu-speaking Arcot Nawabs have also had a presence in the region since the seventeenth century. A simplified sociological and caste-like classification of Tamil-speaking Muslims exists, namely the distinction between Maraikkayar (elite, coastal Sunni Muslims who were originally seafaring merchants), Lebbai (religious scholars but from a lower social-economic strata), and Rowther (descendants of former Muslim cavalrymen who traded in horses). However, scholars such as Torsten Tschacher have cautioned against the homogenizing imperative and orientalist presuppositions of such sociological distinctions. Although this terminology continues to be used by Muslims today, the diverse ways in which people self-identity with one “sub-group” or the other cannot stand in for a classificatory schema. Today, Tamil Nadu is home to various Muslim shrines (dargahs), important pilgrimage centers, historical mosques built in the Dravidian style of architecture, and Islamic seminaries. Tamil Muslim cuisine is distinctive, with influences from Arab, Malay, Sri Lankan, and Southeast Asia regions.

description: We experimentally demonstrate the shape measurement of micro objects by means of phase retrieval under spatially partially coherent illumination. This approach offers an extended depth of focus, vibration insensitivity, short measurement time and precise shape measurements, enables the use of spatially extended light sources such as LEDs and thus significantly improves the eye safety of the method. The employed setup is based on a telecentric -imaging system with a tunable lens across the common Fourier plane. Based on the theoretical investigation presented in Part I, we verify that -based phase retrieval is feasible if the radius of the point spread function of the imaging system is smaller than that of the correlation (spatial coherence) area across the object plane. In this case, a light field with a defined complex amplitude can be assigned to the measured intensity distributions. As a proof of principle towards industrial applications, the 3D shape of a cold-formed micro-cup is reconstructed by combining phase retrieval with two-wavelength contouring. A depth of focus in the range of few millimeters and the measurement time and uncertainty of 0.4 s, and m, respectively, can be achieved.

description: Kevin Lynch proposed the concept of the ‘Urban Image’ and its five elements based on the ‘mental picture’. However, the real urban scenes are often rather different from the abstraction of the urban image in people's minds. In the real urban scene, usually, there will be a combination of two or more ‘urban image’ elements, such as the Landmark company with the Node, the Path also act as the Edges which combine the Nodes or the Landmarks to contribute rhythm and decoration. Significantly, the patterns of urban image composition are specific, not random. This paper will discuss the patterns of ‘urban image’ composition, its types and distribution in a certain historical city. Based on the image survey of the ‘European district’ (built by German colonists, 1897–1914) in Qingdao, China, the paper empirically constructs the system of urban image ‘Composite Pattern’ and statistical of certain pattern types with the highest frequency.
Meanwhile, inspired by the ‘picturesque theory’ (Gordon Cullen) which emphasizes a series of viewpoints, continuous images, and the structured ‘mental landscape’, the paper makes an investigation on the connection and switching of the adjacent Composite Patterns, to find out the distribution laws of various ‘Patterns’ in urban space. Revealing the laws of urban image structure, which benefit to get a better understanding of the value elements and landscape organization with the historical cities. Compared with the ‘urban image (Lynch)’ of the mental picture, the actual urban scene is more vivid and has a richer ‘sense of design’, and its related research will also provide a more direct reference for urban design.

description: An optimization-based energy management system (EMS) for the island hybrid power system of Suðuroy on the Faroe Islands is proposed in this paper. Next to balancing generation and load, the aim lies in reducing the operational costs while dealing with uncertainties from the intermittent nature of renewables. This is achieved by a two-layer model predictive control (MPC) approach solving a mixed-integer linear programming problem for unit commitment, as well as a non-linear programming optimal power flow problem for economic dispatch. The setpoints are transferred to the local controllers of the distributed energy resources. Simulations of the MPC strategy show that the utilization of renewables is preferred and, thus, decreasing operational costs are obtained while satisfying operational and security requirements. The proposed EMS is further investigated in quasi-stationary simulations using a simplified model of the Suðuroy power system. It can be observed that after changes of power setpoints and besides small deviations from the predicted values, no stability boundaries are violated.

A New Method and Toolbox for Easily Calibrating Omnidirectional Cameras
Creators: name: Scaramuzza, Davide
name: Siegwart, Roland
Publisher: name: International Conference on Computer Vision Systems : Proceedings
Year: 2007

description: In this paper, we focus on calibration of central omnidirectional cameras, both dioptric and catadioptric. We describe our novel camera model and algorithm and provide a practical Matlab Toolbox, which implements the proposed method. Our method relies on the use of a planar grid that is shown by the user at different unknown positions and orientations. The user is only asked to click on the corner points of the images of this grid. Then, calibration is quickly and automatically performed. In contrast with previous approaches, we do not use any specific model of the omnidirectional sensor. Conversely, we assume that the imaging function can be described by a polynomial approximation whose coefficients are estimated by solving a linear least squares minimization problem followed by a non-linear refinement. The performance of the approach is shown through several calibration experiments on both simulated and real data. The proposed algorithm is implemented as a Matlab Toolbox, which allows any inexpert user to easily calibrate his own camera. The toolbox is completely Open Source and is freely downloadable from the author's Web page.

Ausgehend von der dramen- und theatergeschichtlichen Forschung werden Figuren bestimmt, die einem der drei Figurentypen ›Intrigant*in‹, ›tugendhafte Tochter‹ und ›zärtlicher Vater‹ entsprechen. Für die Figuren wurden eigenschaftsbasierte Datensätze erstellt, die zu ihrer automatischen Klassifikation herangezogen werden. Neben die inhaltliche Komplexität von Figuren und die theoretische Bestimmung von Figurentypen tritt die methodische Herausforderung, ausgehend von einer kleinen Menge an Annotationen zu generalisieren. Unsere Experimente zeigen, dass sich die gewählten Typen jeweils innerhalb einer Grundgesamtheit als abgrenzbare Teilmengen herausbilden.

Neo-Assyrian Healers (āšipu/mašmaššu-exorcists)
Creators: name: Arbøll, Troels Pank
Publisher: name: Database of Religious History (DRH)
Year: 2023

description: The exorcist (Akkadian āšipu/mašmaššu) acted in an intellectual community as one of five main scholarly professions throughout the Neo-Assyrian period. Exorcists were primarily concerned with medical and magical healing, as well as diagnosing causes of illness, for private - and frequently highborn - clients. Furthermore, they could perform rituals for the city, temples, and the court. Accordingly, they were often connected to the royal court, as well as official and religious institutions in various cities. However, exorcists were not priests. Among the tools of their trade were numerous rituals, medical remedies, prayers, and incantations. Exorcists in the Neo-Assyrian period did not distinguish between what we today label as “magic” and “medicine”, instead believing that most illnesses were caused by supernatural forces, such as gods or demons. Once a patient was seized by an illness, healing could be achieved through identifying the ailment and the agent causing the malady, and subsequently applying therapeutic or ritual treatments to cure the illness and its symptoms, as well as ritual actions to appease the god in question. Healing therefore consisted of both medical and magical treatments, and the term encapsulates the combined focus in the exorcist’s methods for diagnosing and treating illness as well as ensuring social, physical, or mental wellbeing. Although an exorcist’s duties partially overlapped with those of the physician (asû) and diviner (bārû), the exorcist appears to have been the primary professional practicing a broad selection of traditional Assyrian and Babylonian healing methods in the Neo-Assyrian period. Accordingly, the translation “exorcist” is inadequate and often incorrect in describing his competences and duties. The majority of sources from this period can be dated roughly to the 8th and 7th centuries BCE, and they were excavated in the royal text collections at Nineveh, a temple library in Kalhu (Nimrud), private libraries in Assur (especially the “Haus des Beschwörungspriesters”), and a private text collection from Huzirina (Sultantepe).
Gaze shift reflex in a humanoid active vision system

description: Full awareness of sensory surroundings requires active attentional and behavioural exploration. In visual animals, visual, auditory and tactile stimuli elicit gaze shifts (head and eye movements) aimed at optimising visual perception of stimuli. Such gaze shifts can either be top-down attention driven (e.g. visual search) or they can be reflex movements triggered by unexpected changes in the surroundings. Here we present a model active vision system with focus on multi-sensory integration and the generation of desired gaze shift commands. Our model is based on recent data from studies of primate superior colliculus and is developed as part of the sensory-motor control of the humanoid robot CB.

Open-Ended Inference of Relational Representations in the COSPAL Perception-Action Architecture
Creators: name: Windridge, David
name: Kittler, Josef
Publisher: name: International Conference on Computer Vision Systems : Proceedings
Year: 2007

description: The COSPAL architecture for autonomous artifical cognition utilises incremental perception-action learning in order to generate hierarchically-grounded abstract representations of an agent's environment on the basis of its action capabilities. We here give an overview of the top-level relational module of this architecture. The first stage of the process hence involves the application of ILP to attempted action outcomes in order to determine the set of generalised rule protocols governing actions within the agent's environment (initially defined via an a priori low-level representation). In the second stage, imposing certain constraints on legitimate first-order logic induction permits a compact reparameterisation of the percept space such that novel perceptual-capabilities are always correlated with novel action capabilites. We thereby define a meaningful empirical criterion for perceptual inference. Novel perceptual capabilities are of a higher abstract order than the a priori environment representation, allowing more sophisticated exploratory action to be taken. Gathering of further exploratory data for rule induction hence takes place in an iterative cycle. Application of this mechanism within a simulated shape-sorter puzzle environment indicates that this approach significantly accelerates learning of the correct environment model.

In addition, environmental data are collected to help characterize the abiotic and biotic conditions at each sampling location.
Exploratory Learning Strucutre in Artificial Cognitive Systems

description: One major goal of the COSPAL project is to develop an artificial cognitive system architecture with the capability of exploratory learning. Exploratory learning is a strategy that allows to apply generalization on a conceptual level, resulting in an extension of competences. Whereas classical learning methods aim at best possible generalization, i.e., concluding from a number of samples of a problem class to the problem class itself, exploration aims at applying acquired competences to a new problem class. Incremental or online learning is an inherent requirement to perform exploratory learning. Exploratory learning requires new theoretic tools and new algorithms. In the COSPAL project, we mainly investigate reinforcement-type learning methods for exploratory learning and in this paper we focus on its algorithmic aspect. Learning is performed in terms of four nested loops, where the outermost loop reflects the user-reinforcement-feedback loop, the intermediate two loops switch between different solution modes at symbolic respectively sub-symbolic level, and the innermost loop performs the acquired competences in terms of perception-action cycles. We present a system diagram which explains this process in more detail. We discuss the learning strategy in terms of learning scenarios provided by the user. This interaction between user ('teacher') and system is a major difference to many existing systems where the system designer places his world model into the system. We believe that this is the key to extendable robust system behavior and successful interaction of humans and artificial cognitive systems. We furthermore address the issue of bootstrapping the system, and, in particular, the visual recognition module. We give some more in-depth details about our recognition method and how feedback from higher levels is implemented. The described system is however work in progress and no final results are available yet. The available preliminary results that we have achieved so far, clearly point towards a successful proof of the architecture concept.

Automatic Analysis of Lens Distortions in Image Registration

Publisher: name: International Conference on Computer Vision Systems : Proceedings
Year: 2007

description: Geometric image registration by estimating homographies is an important processing step in a wide variety of computer vision applications. The 2D registration of two images does not require an explicit reconstruction of intrinsic or extrinsic camera parameters. However, correcting images for non-linear lens distortions is highly recommended. Unfortunately, standard calibration techniques are sometimes difficult to apply and reliable estimations of lens distortions can only rarely be obtained. In this paper we present a new technique for automatically detecting and categorising lens distortions in pairs of images by analysing registration results. The approach is based on a new metric for registration quality assessment and facilitates a PCA-based statistical model for classifying distortion effects. In doing so the overall importance for lens calibration and image corrections can be checked, and a measure for the efficiency of accordant correction steps is given.

D9.3 Urban Circular Biobased Quality Label communication pack
Creators: name: Greenovate! Europe
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The HOOP project supports eight Lighthouse Cities and Regions to develop large-scale urban circular bioeconomy initiatives that will focus on making bio-based products from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) and urban wastewater sludge (UWWS). 

Within the action, partners are developing a circular ranking system for cities and regions. This assessment system enables cities and regions to find out how ‘circular’ their territory is. Nine possible ‘levels’ can be obtained depending on performance. These levels (CL1 to CL9; reflective of the TRL ranking) can be interpreted as a set of recommended steps to reach a real and effective Urban Circular Bioeconomy and will serve cities as an instrument to understand their current position/performance in regard to the implementation of circular measures at city level.  

The circularity level will be made visible by means of an actual label (digital and physical) in order to promote and disseminate the environmental awareness of the cities. The design of this label is the responsibility of Greenovate! Europe within Task 9.2 of the Action and is the subject of this document.  

The aim of this document is to share the first designs for the HOOP Circularity Label as well as some instructions for how the label should be used in different digital and physical formats. A design for a basic ‘Membership Label’ is presented, which would be available for all members of the HOOP Network of Cities and Regions. The ‘Circularity Label’ would be a variation of this Membership Label, with different coloured options representing the different circularity levels.  

It should be noted however that, according to the work schedule presented in the Grant Agreement, the methodology linked to the Circularity Levels is still in an early development stage and only expected to be ready by September 2022. Therefore, it must be understood that this document presents draft examples of the Label, while a definitive version will be presented in a future update of Deliverable 9.3.
Robust Camera Calibration and Evaluation Procedure Based on Images Rectification and 3D Reconstruction

Year: 2007

description: This paper presents a robust camera calibration algorithm based on contour matching of a known pattern object. The method does not require a fastidious selection of particular pattern points. We introduce two versions of our algorithm, depending on whether we dispose of a single or several calibration images. We propose an evaluation procedure which can be applied for all calibration methods for stereo systems with unlimited number of cameras. We apply this evaluation framework to 3 camera calibration techniques, our proposed robust algorithm, the modified Zhang algorithm implemented by J. Bouguet and Faugeras-Toscani method. Experiments show that our proposed robust approach presents very good results in comparison with the two other methods. The proposed evaluation procedure gives a simple and interactive tool to evaluate any camera calibration method.

Κατά την πρώτη χρονιά λειτουργίας της, η ΕΑΔ ενσωματώνει τις αρμοδιότητες που προέρχονται από καταργηθέντες φορείς. Παρά τη σύντομη ιστορία της, έχει προχωρήσει σημαντικά προς τη λειτουργία της ως ανεξάρτητη αρχή, επωφελούμενη από τα πλεονεκτήματα της σύγχρονης διακυβέρνησης. H EAΔ εστιάζει κυρίως στην οργανωτική αλλαγή και τον εκσυγχρονισμό των υποδομών, χρησιμοποιώντας νέες τεχνολογίες για την πλήρη ένταξη ελεγκτικών μηχανισμών. Στοχεύει στην πρόληψη και καταστολή της διαφθοράς και της κακοδιοίκησης στην ελληνική δημόσια διοίκηση. Ένα χαρακτηριστικό είναι το ευρύ φάσμα εφαρμογής των αρμοδιοτήτων της σε πολλούς δημόσιους φορείς και ιδιώτες. Το όραμα και η αποστολή της επικεντρώνονται σε συγκεκριμένους στόχους και δράσεις για μετρήσιμα αποτελέσματα μέσω κατάλληλων δεικτών. Η ΕΑΔ έχει επιτύχει σημαντικά αποτελέσματα από το πρώτο έτος λειτουργίας της, όπως παρουσιάζεται στην πρώτη απολογιστική έκθεση. Πραγματοποιεί επιθεωρήσεις και έρευνες καλύπτοντας διάφορους τομείς της ελληνικής δημόσιας διοίκησης, ενώ επίσης παρακολουθεί το Εθνικό Σύστημα Συντονισμού Καταπολέμησης της Απάτης. Προβαίνει σε δράσεις για την ενοποίηση λειτουργιών και τη διαμόρφωση οργανωσιακής κουλτούρας βασισμένης σε αρχές όπως η ακεραιότητα και η διαφάνεια. Η εφαρμογή των αρχών διοικητικού δικαίου αποτελεί θεμελιώδη πυλώνα για τη διασφάλιση της νομιμότητας, της διαφάνειας και της αποτελεσματικότητας στη λειτουργία των δημόσιων οργανισμών. Η Εθνική Αρχή Διαφάνειας (ΕΑΔ), ως ανεξάρτητη αρχή, διαδραματίζει κρίσιμο ρόλο στην καταπολέμηση της διαφθοράς και στην προαγωγή της χρηστής διοίκησης στην Ελλάδα. Οι αρχές του διοικητικού δικαίου, όπως η αρχή της νομιμότητας, η αρχή της διαφάνειας, η αρχή της αναλογικότητας και η αρχή της αμεροληψίας, αποτελούν βασικούς οδηγούς στη λειτουργία της ΕΑΔ. Μέσω της ενσωμάτωσης αυτών των αρχών στις διαδικασίες και στις αποφάσεις της, η ΕΑΔ ενισχύει την εμπιστοσύνη του κοινού στους δημόσιους θεσμούς και προωθεί την αποτελεσματική διαχείριση των δημόσιων υποθέσεων. Στόχος της παρούσας εργασίας είναι η παρουσίαση της ΕΑΔ μέσω της οργάνωσής της και των αρμοδιοτήτων της και η αποτύπωση των αρχών του διοικητικού δικαίου τόσο στο έργο της όσο και στη συλλογική της κατεύθυνση.
The cult of Maritime Hera
Creators: name: Skinner, Kaitlyn
Publisher: name: Database of Religious History (DRH)
Year: 2023

description: The aim of this entry is to shed light on a largely unknown facet of the religious veneration of the Greek goddess, Hera. Evidence for Hera being worshipped as a goddess of the sea is derived from an interdisciplinary approach; the votive assemblages from her sanctuaries, of which at least 7 are seaside, her symbolic and material connections to the sea and water, and myths she is involved in. As a goddess of the sea, Hera was the recipient of at least 46 ship models discovered in a religious context and hundreds of other votives associated with maritime imagery. It is clear that she was worshipped in practical matters of seafaring, such as being prayed to for a safe journey or ideal weather conditions. However, there is also evidence for her maritime cult in a broader, instinctual, symbolic connection with the sea, related to aspects of creation, motherhood, liminality, and transitional spaces.

description: In 2014, the Chinese Central Government earmarked fourteen Chinese cities with ‘red lines’, preventing further urban expansion. Listed as national famous historical and cultural cities in China, each of these fourteen cities contains run-down areas in its urban centre. The regeneration of heritage conservation areas (HCA) is a growing trend for future urban development, involving specific protection strategies and spatial requirements. The majority of such regeneration projects entail incentives driven by local governments. Linked to this, since the 1980s, urban governance has transformed from managerialism to more entrepreneurial practices. This transformation facilitates multi-stakeholder engagement in regeneration projects, and in particular, emphasising community engagement as a tool to assist with the transference of cultural values and the further promotion of sustainable development. By examining morphological conditions and spatial parameters of the Pingjiang Area of Suzhou, this paper aims to explicate the realisation of multi-stakeholder collaboration in the regeneration process of Chinese metropolitan heritage conservation areas. The discussion outlines spatial frameworks specific to collaboration-oriented regeneration projects and the morphological tools needed to implement regeneration strategies. Conclusions analyse the appropriation and morphological tools associated with regeneration projects, drawing points to future research into urban morphology and city identity.

description: Understanding human behaviours and emotions has received contributions from image analysis and pattern recognition techniques in order to tackle this challenge. The most popular facial expression classifiers deal with eyebrows and lips while avoiding eyelid motion. According to psychologists, eye motion is relevant for trust and deceit analysis as well for dichotomizing near facial expressions. Unlike previous approaches, we include the eyelid motion by constructing an appearance-based tracker (ABT). Subsequently, a Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) approach is applied by training a case-base with seven facial actions. We classify new facial expressions with respect to previous solutions, previously assessing confidence for the proposed solutions. Therefore, the proposed system yields efficient classification rates comparable to the best previous facial expression classifiers. The ABT and CBR combination provides trusty solutions by evaluating the confidence of the solution quality for eyebrows, mouth and eyes. Consequently, this method is robust and accurate for facial motion coding, and for confident classifications. The training is progressive, the quality of the solution increases with respect to previous solutions and do not need re-training processes.

description: Calibration of the pinhole camera model has a well-established theory, especially in the presence of a known calibration object. Unfortunately, in wide-base multi-camera setups, it is hard to create a calibration object, which is visible by all the cameras simultaneously. This results in the fact that conventional calibration methods do not scale well. Using well-known algorithms, we developed a streamlined calibration method, which is able to calibrate multi-camera setups only with the help of a planar calibration object. The object does not have to be observed by at the same time by all the cameras involved in the calibration. Our algorithm breaks down the calibration into four consecutive steps: feature extraction, distortion correction, intrinsic and finally extrinsic calibration. We also made the implementation of the presented method available from our website.

Saint Nicholas “Maroulenas”, Kastania, southern Greece, byzantine church, also known as “Eastern orthodoxe christian doctrine”

description: The small byzantine church of Saint Nicholas "Maroulenas" is a fine example of the single-nave crossvaulted (or traverse-vault) architectural type, dated in 13th century. It is located in the village of Kastania, in the messinian Mani, the south-western part of Messinia region, in the Peloponnese, southern Greece. Numerous churches of byzantine to post byzantine times are preserved within the village, marking it as a particular regional religious center. "Maroulena" is believed to have been the name of the female resident who lived nearby the church and took care of it. Despite its limited size and humble aspirations, the church is decorated by fine murals, dated in the end of the 13th century. The iconographic program includes the depiction of Theotokos in the apse, scenes from the Life of Saint Nicholas and of Christ Passion, saint figures etc. Both in style and iconography, conservatism and copying western trends are to be noticed. The church was purposed to function most probably for private (a family) or limited number of faithful (the members of the quarter) gatherings. It remained in use officially till the conquest of the Peloponnese by the Ottomans, in 1460. In the 18th century, an era of local economic development, the church restored its religious function and was redecorated by few new murals. Today, it is considered a monument of byzantine art, celebating only in the Feast day of the patron saint, i.e. Saint Nicholas.

Implicit Modeling of Object Topology with Guidance from Temporal View Attention

Year: 2007

description: Object recognition developed to the most common approach of detecting arbitrary objects based on their appearance. However, viewpoint dependency, occlusions, algorithmic constraints, and noise are hindrances for proper object detection from a single view. As blob based segmentation cannot support learning and understanding of the object under consideration, contour based approaches are more prospective. As a consequence of aforementioned obstacles, objects are segmented often partly with more or less drop outs in contour that yields poor recognition performance. Since recognition of the "yet unknown" by the mammalian brain is supported by curiosity and experimental willingness, unknown objects are observed at least from a number of different viewpoints. These different views are considered by cognitive processes, yielding an implicit view of the object under observation. It is the objective of this paper to present an approach based on findings from biological studies and cognitive science, which enables the cognitive investigation of natural scenes and their further cognitive understanding. We proposed in another paper the architecture and a simulation of the first five bottom layers implementing the striate visual cortex as the first level of cognitive modeling of behaviors. In this work we focus on the aggregation layer, which forms object prototypes from geon recipes. The proposed implementation is exemplified again with the Necker cube.
