Abstract
Described herein are apparatus and methods for performing inference into the identity of an object. For an object of a plurality of objects, the apparatus receives feature-location information identifying a feature at first location on a first object of the plurality and a feature at a second location on a second object of the plurality. The apparatus activates a first set of location cells that collectively represent the first location on the first object corresponding to a feature on an object of the plurality of objects and a second set of location cells that collectively represent the second location on the second object corresponding to a feature on an object of the plurality of objects. The apparatus activates a set of displacement cells representing displacement of the first set of location cells and the second set of location cells and identifies one or more objects by processing the displacement cells.
