Computational Processes in Human Vision: An Interdisciplinary Perspective (Canadian Institute for Advanced Research Series in Artificial Intelligence) - Hardcover

 
9780893914608: Computational Processes in Human Vision: An Interdisciplinary Perspective (Canadian Institute for Advanced Research Series in Artificial Intelligence)

Synopsis

This text is the result of a workshop which brought together a group of researchers concerned with understanding human as well as artificial vision from a computational perspective. The chapters are original essays and research reports that span a wide range of disciplinary approaches - from experimental psychophysics and psychobiology to mathematical analysis, to a spectrum of problems in visual processing. Further subjects covered include how the earliest stages of processing visual signals takes place, what the role of visual attention focusing is, and the high level problem of how we recognize familiar objects. Theoretical and empirical explorations of such general issues as the complexity of visual processing and the representation of visual knowledge are undertaken.
