• Recognition-by-Components (RBC) Theory: A theory of object recognition developed by Irving Biederman. It posits that visual objects are composed of a set of 36 basic geometric shapes called geons. The arrangement and relationships between these geons allow us to recognize objects regardless of changes in viewpoint or minor occlusions.
