We discuss the computational requirements of rank-preserving representation, and examine its plausibility within a prototype-based framework of shape vision. date: 1995 date_type: published refereed: FALSE citation: Duvdevani-Bar, Sharon and Edelman, Shimon (1995) On Similarity to Prototypes in 3D Object Representation.
