In this thesis, we discuss the implementation, characterization, and evaluation of a new computational model for human vision. Our goal is to understand the mechanisms enabling invariant perception under scaling, translation, and clutter. The model is based on I-Theory [50], and uses convolutional neural networks. We investigate the explanatory power of this approach using the task of object recognition. We find that the model has important similarities with neural architectures and that it can reproduce human perceptual phenomena. This work may be an early step towards a more general and unified human vision model.
