Unit focus

  • Objects can be compared and classified by features such as faces, edges, vertices, curved surfaces, strength, stability and how they are used.
  • Use this routine: Observe object → Identify features → Compare → Classify → Link feature to use.
  • Watch for classifying only by colour: Use structural features relevant to the purpose.
