Front End Vision: A Multiscale Geometry Engine Scale-Space Theory in Computer Vision versus Front-End Biological Vision
نویسنده
چکیده
The front end visual system belongs to the best studied brain areas. Scale-space theory, as pioneered by Iijima in Japan [11, 41, 43] and Koenderink [12] has been heavily inspired by the important derivation of the Gaussian kernel and its derivatives as regularized differential operators, and the linear diffusion equation as its generating PDE. The view visual system as a ’geometry’ engine is the inspiration of the current work, and simultaneously, the presented examples of applications of (differential) geometric operations may inspire the thinking of the visual system as a geometry engine.

Front-End Vision: A Multiscale Geometry Engine
The paper is a short tutorial on the multiscale differential geometric possibilities of the front-end visual receptive fields, modeled by Gaussian derivative kernels. The paper is written in, and interactive through the use of Mathematica 4, so each statement can be run and modified by the reader on images of choice. The notion of multiscale invariant feature detection is presented in detail, w...
متن کاملScale-space Theory: a Basic Tool for Analysing Structures at Diierent Scales
An inherent property of objects in the world is that they only exist as meaningful entities over certain ranges of scale. If one aims at describing the structure of unknown real-world signals, then a multi-scale representation of data is of crucial importance. This chapter gives a tutorial review of a special type of multi-scale representation , linear scale-space representation, which has been...

متن کاملScale-Space Theory for Multiscale Geometric Image Analysis
Introduction Multiscale image analysis has gained firm ground in computer vision, image processing and models of biological vision. The approaches however have been characterised by a wide variety of techniques, many of them chosen ad hoc. Scale-space theory, as a relatively new field, has been established as a well founded, general and promising multiresolution technique for image structure an...
متن کامل18. Color differential structure
Color is an important extra dimension. Information extracted from color is useful for almost any computer vision task, like segmentation, surface characterization, etc. The field of color science is huge [Wyszecki2000], and many theories exist. It is far beyond the scope of this book to cover even a fraction of the many different approaches. We will focus on a single recent theory, based on the...
