- An integrated framework for combining gist vision with object segregation categorisation and recognitionPublication . Rodrigues, J. M. F.; Almeida, D.; Martins, Jaime; Lam, RobertoThere are roughly two processing systems: (1) very fast gist vision of entire scenes, completely bottom-up and data driven, and (2) Focus-of-Attention (FoA) with sequential screening of specific image regions and objects. The latter system has to be sequential because unnormalised input objects must be matched against normalised templates of canonical object views stored in memory, which involves dynamic routing of features in the visual pathways.
- Cortical multiscale line-edge disparity modelPublication . Rodrigues, J. M. F.; Martins, Jaime; Lam, Roberto; du Buf, J. M. H.Most biological approaches to disparity extraction rely on the disparity energy model (DEM). In this paper we present an alternative approach which can complement the DEM model. This approach is based on the multiscale coding of lines and edges, because surface structures are composed of lines and edges and contours of objects often cause edges against their background. We show that the line/edge approach can be used to create a 3D wireframe representation of a scene and the objects therein. It can also significantly improve the accuracy of the DEM model, such that our biological models can compete with some state-of-the-art algorithms from computer vision.
