“…Furthermore, evidence from animal and insect studies indicates that different visual systems across species are sensitive to global topological patterns. For instance, in rodent species, mice, not considered to be ''visual animals'' due to their retinal degeneration and lack of infoldings in the cortex, are sensitive to figures that differ only in topological properties without any differences in local features (Zhu, Guo, Ma, & Ren, 2010). Surprisingly, bees, ancient evolutionary organisms without cortical systems and with less than 0.01% of the neurons present in the human brain, are also able to represent the general property of topological invariance (Chen, Zhang, & Srinivasan, 2003).…”

Over the past 40 years, research has addressed the impact of the aging process on various aspects of visual function. Most studies have focused on age-related visual impairment in low-level local features of visual objects, such as orientation, contrast sensitivity and spatial frequency. However, whether there are lifespan changes in global visual perception is still unclear. To suitably frame this question, we defined global visual

“…phenomenon have all shown the importance of detecting topological properties in visual perception processes [32][33][34][35]. At the same time, this idea has been supported by germline genetics and developmental psychology [36][37][38]. To summarize, topological perception is a fundamental geometric perception common to human beings [35].…”

Landmark building models typically exhibit intricate structures, posing challenges for retrieval using generic descriptors. To address this challenge, this paper abstracts and simplifies the model into simple topological structures grounded in topological perceptual theory and introduces a novel categorization of landmark building models. Furthermore, based on view, the quotient distance–angle histogram algorithm is proposed for extracting model topological features. This approach facilitates the identification of intricate landmark building models and enhances retrieval performance. In addition, a new projection method is also proposed. Based on the fact that most landmark building models have correct upright direction and the significant topological features predominantly emerge in the top or side views of these models, this method can accelerate the subsequent extraction and matching of shape descriptors by reducing the extraction of model views. Compared with the existing methods, the proposed projection method is more consistent with human visual perception, and the experimental results verify that the proposed method can improve the retrieval performance when classifying the topological structure of 3D landmark building models.

“…For example, using near-threshold detection/discrimination tasks, researchers found that objects of equivalent topological properties were more likely to be regarded as the same [3,6,8,10]. Moreover, several comparative studies also demonstrated that the sensitivity to topology is not unique to humans: mice [11], goldfish [12], as well as honey-bees [13,14] seem to better discriminate pat-terns differing topologically than geometrically.…”

Primitive, and invariant across degraded visual settings, topological properties may serve as the basis for object recognition in an ever-changing world. The present study investigated whether human neonates exhibit an intrinsic visual sensitivity for a frequently encountered topological property, the presence or absence of a hole in a 2D shape. Using the familiarization/visual-paired comparison procedures with looking time measurement, we tested forty-three 0 to 4 day-old neonates' visual discriminability. The infants were randomly assigned to one of the three conditions: Condition 1: a disk vs. a ring (topologically different, geometrically similar), Condition 2: a disk vs. a triangle (topologically equivalent, geometrically different), or Condition 3: a ring vs. an S-like figure (topologically different, and total area equated). Based on infant's novelty preference scores derived by their looking time, the results showed that neonates were able to differentiate the shapes in Conditions 1 and 3, but not in Condition 2, suggesting a sensitivity for topological but not geometrical property. In sum, the present finding supports the notion that the ability to perceive visual topological information may be readily present at birth, at least for the presence or absence of a hole in a 2D shape.
