title: Integration by association: combining three-dimensional cues to extrinsic surface shape.
abstract: Surface shape is visually derived from multiple sources of three-dimensional (3-D) information. The apparent unity of the percept creates an assumption that there are perceptual processes that resolve and combine the different channels of information within some common 3-D representation. However, integration by the explicit conversion of the information from different sources into a common representation is computationally difficult and unnecessary. An alternative, integration by association, is discussed and related to a variety of experimental results on 3-D-cue conflict.
