Evidence for Holistic Representations of Ignored Images and Analytic Representations of Attended Images.

Evidence for holistic representations of ignored images and analytic representations of attended images.

According to the hybrid theory of object recognition (J. E. Hummel, 2001), ignored object images are represented holistically, and attended images are represented both holistically and analytically. This account correctly predicts patterns of visual priming as a function of translation, scale (B. J. Stankiewicz & J. E. Hummel, 2002), and left-right reflection (B. J. Stankiewicz, J. E. Hummel, &...

compactifications and representations of transformation semigroups

this thesis deals essentially (but not from all aspects) with the extension of the notion of semigroup compactification and the construction of a general theory of semitopological nonaffine (affine) transformation semigroup compactifications. it determines those compactification which are universal with respect to some algebric or topological properties. as an application of the theory, it is i...

Holographic representations of images

We discuss a new type of holographic image representations that have advantages in a "distributed" world. We call these representations holographic. Arbitrary portions of a holographic representation enable reconstruction of the whole image, with distortions that decrease gradually with the increase in the size of the portions available. Holographic representations enable progressive refinement...

The Complementary Properties of Holistic and Analytic Representations of Shape

Independent spectral representations of images for recognition.

In recent years, studies have shown that independent components of local windows of natural images resemble the receptive fields of cells in the early stages of the mammalian visual pathway. However, the role of the independence in visual recognition is not well understood. We argue that the independence resolves the curse of dimensionality by reducing the complexity of probability models to th...
