Processing of natural images is feedforward: A simple behavioral test

Processing of natural images is feedforward: a simple behavioral test.

Natural images can be classified so rapidly that it has been suggested that their analysis is based on a first single pass of processing activity through the visuomotor system. We tested this theory in a visuomotor priming task in which speeded pointing responses were performed toward one of two target images containing a prespecified stimulus (e.g., animal vs. non animal, ellipse vs. rectangle...

A Simple, Intuitive Camera Calibration Tool for Natural Images

The paper reports an interactive tool for calibrating a camera, suitable for use in outdoor scenes. The motivation for the tool was the need to obtain an approximate calibration for images taken with no explicit calibration data. Such images are frequently presented to research laboratories, especially in surveillance applications, with a request to demonstrate algorithms. The method decomposes...

Learning Nonlinear Visual Processing from Natural Images

The paradigm of computational vision hypothesizes that any visual function – such as the recognition of your grandparent – can be replicated by computational processing of the visual input. What are these computations that the brain performs? What should or could they be? Working on the latter question, this dissertation takes the statistical approach, where the suitable computations are attemp...
