This contrasts with within-modal recognition, where viewpoint-dependence suggests mediation by lower-level, unisensory representations that might feed into the high-level viewpoint-independent representation mediating cross-modal recognition.
From a high-level information viewpoint, data models can be converted between the individual subsystems to a certain extent.
Thus, at present, the locus of the modality- and viewpoint-independent, high-level representation underlying cross-modal object recognition is unknown.
Especially important from a systemic viewpoint were putting a high-level administrator in charge of lab safety, setting in motion a quest for further improvements, and promising discipline for those who broke rules or failed to report problems.
The detainee at the center of both subplots is Salim Hamdan, a onetime driver for Osama bin Laden who was, depending on one's viewpoint, either a Qaeda loyalist with high-level ties or little more than an errand boy.
In vision, viewpoint-independence suggests mediation by a high-level, relatively abstract representation [16].
The thermo hydro mechanical (T H M) behaviors of a clay barrier are of importance from a performance and safety viewpoint of the engineered barrier system (EBS) for a high-level waste (HLW) repository.
Despite differences between my viewpoint and Professor Doolittle's on the topic of high-level selection, I would like to mention that I have found his publications on evolvability in the contexts abovementioned inspiring.
The viewpoint-independence of cross-modal object identification points to its mediation by a high-level abstract representation.
Exposure to multiple, contradictory viewpoints is essential for cognitive growth and a stepping stone toward the eventual goal of high-level ("reflective" or "evaluative") reasoning.
