On the second order spatiochromatic structure of natural images
نویسندگان
چکیده
We provide a theoretical analysis of some empirical facts about the second order spatiochromatic structure of natural images in color. In particular, we show that two simple assumptions on the covariance matrices of color images yield eigenvectors made by the Kronecker product of Fourier features times the triad given by luminance plus color opponent channels. The first of these assumptions is second order stationarity while the second one is commutativity between color correlation matrices. The validity of these assumptions and the predicted shape of the PCA components of color images are experimentally observed on two large image databases. As a by-product of this experimental study, we also provide novel data to support an exponential decay law of the spatiochromatic covariance between pairs of pixels as a function of their spatial distance.

Spatiochromatic statistics of natural scenes: first- and second-order information and their correlational structure.
Spatial filters that mimic receptive fields of visual cortex neurons provide an efficient representation of achromatic image structure, but the extension of this idea to chromatic information is at an early stage. Relatively few studies have looked at the statistical relationships between the modeled responses to natural scenes of the luminance (LUM), red-green (RG), and blue-yellow (BY) postre...
متن کاملSpatiochromatic Properties of Natural Images and Human Vision
The human visual system shows a relatively greater response to low spatial frequencies of chromatic spatial modulation than to luminance spatial modulation. However, previous work has shown that this differential sensitivity to low spatial frequencies is not reflected in any differential luminance and chromatic content of general natural scenes. This is contrary to the prevailing assumption tha...
متن کاملTransient Natural Convection Flow on an Isothermal Vertical Wall at High Prandtl Numbers: Second-Order Approximation
The method of matched asymptotic expansions, which has been used in previous studies of steady natural convection flow, is extended here to transient natural convection flow at high Prandtl number (Pr). Second-order expansion solutions, valid for large Prandtl numbers, are presented for the transient natural convection flow near a vertical surface which undergoes a step change in temperature. T...
متن کاملSpatiochromatic Receptive Field Properties Derived from Information-Theoretic Analyses of Cone Mosaic Responses to Natural Scenes
Neurons in the early stages of processing in the primate visual system efficiently encode natural scenes. In previous studies of the chromatic properties of natural images, the inputs were sampled on a regular array, with complete color information at every location. However, in the retina cone photoreceptors with different spectral sensitivities are arranged in a mosaic. We used an unsupervise...
متن کاملNumerical Study of the Mass Transfer Effects on the Flow and Thermal Fields Structures under the Influence of Natural Convection
In this paper, a numerical study has been carried out for coupled mass, momentum and heat transfer in the field under effects of natural convection. For this purpose, the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with the terms of the Buoyancy forces (due to temperature gradients), energy conservation and concentration (mass) transfer equations have been simultaneously solved using approp...
