N. Intermediate Level Vision

There are quite a number of visual analyses carried out by the brain that is categorized as intermediate level vision. Included are our ability to identify objects when they undergo various transformations, when they are partially occluded, to perceive them the same when they undergo change in size and perspective, to put them into categories, to learn to recognize new objects upon repeated encounter, and to select objects in the visual scene by looking at them or reaching for them.
