“…Even so, it is evident that an invariants-based approach can be useful, and its geometric foundations can lead to predictions that are testable and relevant. Thus, the idea of minimal information is based on a hierarchy of transformation geometries (which has found application in other contexts; e.g., Tittle, Todd, Perotti, & Norman, 1995), and this framework allows one to derive predictions about shape equivalence under different sets of transformations (e.g., perspective versus projective; Wagemans, Lamote, & Van Gool, 1997;also Foster, 1975).…”
