چکیده

"composed of tissue which is transitional between the body of the cerebellum and the acousticolateral area of the medulla oblongata. This auricle contains the primordia of the vestibular part of the cerebellar cortex...." Finally, the premammalian nucleus cerebelli appears, in mammals, to become "subdivided and incorporated within the cerebellar mass as the deep nuclei" (3). That vestibular cortex of the mammalian cerebellum has the direct output and partially direct input lines just described may be an arrangement ofsome antiquity that has survived for adaptive reasons because it favors rapid computation, or rapid adjustment, of the body's position in space. Apropos that point, Turkewitz and Kenny (4) note that in newborns "the sequence of functional onset-vestibular, cutaneous, olfactory, auditory and visual, is invariant across all species of birds and mammals thus far studied." What Hockfield's study suggests is that monoclonal antibodies may in some instances be used to label neuronal subpopulations according to their phylogenetic age. Characterization of this type might be of particular interest in structures such as the dentate gyrus, in transitional areas such as entorhinalis, or in parts ofassociation cortex defined by Graybiel (5) as "distal."

Retinex at 50: color theory and spatial algorithms, a review

Retinex Imaging shares two distinct elements: first, a model of human color vision; second, a spatialimaging algorithm for making better reproductions. Edwin Land’s 1964 Retinex Color Theory began as a model of human color vision of real complex scenes. He designed many experiments, such as Color Mondrians, to understand why retinal cone quanta catch fails to predict color constancy. Land’s Ret...

Retinex Poisson Equation: a Model for Color Perception

In 1964 Edwin H. Land formulated the Retinex theory, the first attempt to simulate and explain how the human visual system perceives color. Unfortunately, the Retinex Land-McCann original algorithm is both complex and not fully specified. Indeed, this algorithm computes at each pixel an average of a very large set of paths on the image. For this reason, Retinex has received several interpretati...

Analysis of the retinex theory of color vision.

If color appearance is to be a useful feature in identifying an object, then color appearance must remain roughly constant when the object is viewed in different contexts. People maintain approximate color constancy despite variation in the color of nearby objects and despite variation in the spectral power distribution of the ambient light. Land's retinex algorithm is a model of human color co...

Shadow Detection and Removal from Solo Natural Image Based on Retinex Theory

Shadows are physical phenomena observed in most natural scenes. They can cause many problems in computer vision performance. The paper addresses the problem of shadow detection and removal from solo image of natural scenes. Our method is based on Retinex theory which is an image enhancement and illumination compensation model of the lightness and color perception of human vision. The approach p...
