Abstract
In the paper a theory of human image understanding, Recognition-by-Element (RBE), is presented that suggests that the representation of an object may be a set that consists of many members, called elements, most of them are 2D projections (images) of the 3D object to the retina from a specific viewpoint, in specific illumination, specific background, and so on, these 2D images encoding, storing, and retrieving globally, the rest are other sensor inputs evoked by the object, such as voices, tastes, smells, tactilities, etc. The model can explain the implicit memory, perceptual constancies, hand and face detectors, and the cases of object recognition impairment. A computer program has been developed to simulate the RBE, the result is satisfactory
