Translation of "shape" into Icelandic

4.5. Other, related processes seek to determine whether a region is part of a foreground figure, (like this black O) or part of the background (like the white area around the O). These rules of grouping and figure-ground assignment are driven by an implicit understanding of the physics of the world. Thus, events that are very unlikely to happen by chance (e.g., two contours parallel to each other) are taken to have meaning. (Those parallel contours are likely to be part of the same figure.) 4.6. The processes that divide visual input into objects and background have to deal with many complexities. Among these are the fact that parts of objects may be hidden behind other objects (occlusion) and the fact that objects themselves have structure. Is your nose an object or a part of a larger whole? What about glasses or hair or a wig?

4. 7. In addition to perceiving the shapes of objects and their parts, we are also adept at categorising the material that an object seems to be made of—glass, stone, cloth, and so on. We use material perception to estimate physical properties. What would the object feel like? Can it be grasped like a bottle, or would it slip through our fingers like sand? 4.8. It is common to talk about the role of ‘templates’ in object recognition. The idea is that an object in the world is recognised when its image fits a particular representation in the brain in the way that a key fits a lock. It has always been hard to see how naïve template models could work, because of the astronomical number of templates required: we might need one ‘lock’ for every object in every orientation in every position in the visual field.
