A VI model of pop out and asymmetry visual search
نویسنده
چکیده
Visual search is the task of finding a target in an image against a background of distractors. Unique features of targets enable them to pop out against the background, while targets defined by lacks of features or conjunctions of features are more difficult to spot. It is known that the ease of target detection can change when the roles of figure and ground are switched. The mechanisms underlying the ease of pop out and asymmetry in visual search have been elusive. This paper shows that a model of segmentation in VI based on intracortical interactions can explain many of the qualitative aspects of visual search.

متن کاملPre-attentive segmentation in the primary visual cortex.
The activities of neurons in primary visual cortex have been shown to be significantly influenced by stimuli outside their classical receptive fields. We propose that these contextual influences serve pre-attentive visual segmentation by causing relatively higher neural responses to important or conspicuous image locations, making them more salient for perceptual pop-out. These locations includ...
متن کاملContextual influences in V1 as a basis for pop out and asymmetry in visual search.
I use a model to show how simple, bottom-up, neural mechanisms in primary visual cortex can qualitatively explain the preattentive component of complex psychophysical phenomena of visual search for a target among distracters. Depending on the image features, the speed of search ranges from fast, when a target pops-out or is instantaneously detectable, to very slow, and it can be asymmetric with...
متن کاملVisual search processing assessed by MEG
Visual search tasks include two different types of search processing. In one type, a target item is segregated automatically from among the distracters without attentional shifts (pop-out); this has traditionally been called “parallel” processing because reaction time is not affected by set size. In the other type, a target is detected by using attentional shifts; this has been called “serial” ...
متن کاملCorrection: Modeling the Effect of Selection History on Pop-Out Visual Search
While attentional effects in visual selection tasks have traditionally been assigned "top-down" or "bottom-up" origins, more recently it has been proposed that there are three major factors affecting visual selection: (1) physical salience, (2) current goals and (3) selection history. Here, we look further into selection history by investigating Priming of Pop-out (POP) and the Distractor Previ...
