Royal Society discussion meeting on Natural and artificial low level seeing systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent work on the visual interpretation of traffic scenes is described which relies heavily on a priori knowledge of the scene and position of the camera, and expectations about the shapes of vehicles and their likely movements in the scene. Knowledge is represented in the computer as explicit 3D geometrical models, dynamic filters, and descriptions of behaviour. Model-based vision, based on reasoning with analog models, avoids many of the classical problems in visual perception: recognition is robust against changes in the image of shape, size, colour and illumination. The 3D understanding of the scene which results also deals naturally with occlusion, and allows the behaviour of vehicles to be interpreted. The experiments with machine vision raise questions about the part played by perceptual context for object recognition in natural vision, and the neural mechanisms which might serve such a role.

Quantum catalysis in enzymes: beyond the transition state theory paradigm. A Discussion Meeting held at the Royal Society on 14 and 15 November 2005.
How do enzymes work? What is the physical basis of the phenomenal rate enhancements achieved by enzymes? Do we have a theoretical framework that accounts for observed catalytic rates? These are the foremost questions-with particular emphasis on tunnelling phenomena-debated at this Discussion Meeting by the leading practitioners in the field.

At The Royal Society Discussion Meeting, Origins of HIV and the AIDS epidemic, which this issue records, Edward Hooper added two new 'smoking guns' to the accusations published previously in The river. These were proposed as conclusive evidence for the hypothesis that simian immunodeficiency virus-contaminated CHAT polio vaccine caused the HIV-1 group M epidemic. We have investigated the facts ...

Making light work: illuminating the future of biomedical optics.
In 1996, the Royal Society held a Discussion Meeting entitled 'Near-infrared spectroscopy and imaging of living systems'. In 2010, this topic was revisited in a Theo Murphy Royal Society Scientific Discussion Meeting entitled 'Making light work: illuminating the future of biomedical optics'. The second meeting provided the opportunity for leading researchers to reflect on how the technology, me...
