The picture in our brains...

It makes sense that the picture formed in our brains are rooted from multiple regions in the brain instead of one localized place.  It is a pretty ambiguous picture since we may look an image and form our own interpretation of what the picture is- especially when considering the pictures we looked at in class.  In that respect, is there really such a thing as a "real" or "true" image if multiple individuals will perceive different pictures in their brain?  How can one objectively be able to tell what the actual object looks like?
