Vision: Modular analysis – or not?

Vision: Modular analysis – or not?

It has commonly been assumed that the many separate areas of the visual system perform modular analyses, each restricted to a single attribute of the image. A recent paper advocates a radically different approach, where all areas in the hierarchy analyse all attributes of the image to extract perceptually relevant decisions.

Sequential modular approach or global approach ? And why not both ?

Be they steady state or transient state, "Process simulators" can be split in two categories: simulators with a sequential modular approach and simulators with a global resolution approach. Both approaches are often opposed and present specific advantages and disadvantages. The work reported here consists in reconciling those two approaches. It was carried out in Ariane, a software dedicated to...

A Modular Model of Active Vision

Modularity is the main characteristic of the biological systems and especially of the brain 2]. For example , Vision can be described as the interactions of diierent processing systems 1]. Physiologists relate two pathways from the retina. The rst conveys information from the retina to the cortical areas, where specialized areas analyse the visual data (e.g., colour vision, motion detection, ob...
