Abstract
The notion of correspondence underlies many current theories of human and machine visual information processing. Algorithms for both the correspondence process and solutions to the correspondence problem have appeared regularly in the computer vision literature. Algorithms for stereopsis (Marr and Poggio, 1977; Barnard and Thompson, 1980; Mayhew and Frisby, 1980) and for tracking objects through time (Moravec, 1977; Ullman, 1979; Dreschler and Nagel, 1981; Webb, 1981; Jain and Sethi, 1984) have been presented which assume that token matching of separated or successive views is the underlying visual process. This paper will address the notion of token matching as a primitive operation in vision. We will argue that correspondence seems ill suited to the task of accounting for how an object is positioned in time or space, and that some other mechanism may provide a more apt account.
