"A Bradford book."This text provides an introduction to computational aspects of early vision, in particular, color, stereo, and visual navigation. It integrates approaches from psychophysics and quantitative neurobiology, as well as theories and algorithms from machine vision and photogrammetry. When presenting mathematical material, it uses detailed verbal descriptions and illustrations to cl…
Two important subproblems of computer vision are the detection and recognition of 2D objects in gray-level images. This book discusses the construction and training of models, computational approaches to efficient implementation, and parallel implementations in biologically plausible neural network architectures. The approach is based on statistical modeling and estimation, with an emphasis on …
"This book uses the methodology of artificial intelligence to investigate the phenomena of visual motion perception: how the visual system constructs descriptions of the environment in terms of objects, their three-dimensional shape, and their motion through space, on the basis of the changing image that reaches the eye. The author has analyzed the computations performed in the course of visual…
Can a blind person see? The very idea seems paradoxical. Here the authors examine the effects of blindness and other types of visual deficit on the development and functioning of the human cognitive system.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
"Over the past fifty years, enormous progress has been made in understanding visual mechanisms and treating eye disorders. And yet the scientist is not always aware of the latest clinical advances and the clinician is often not up to date on the basic scientific discoveries. Writing in nontechnical language, John and Joseph Dowling, a neuroscientist and an ophthalmologist, examine vision from b…
A Bradford book."These essays by Robert Schwartz on topics in the theory of vision are written from a pragmatic perspective. The issues and arguments will interest both philosophers and psychologists, covering new ground and bridging gaps between these disciplines. Schwartz begins historically, with discussions of problems raised and solutions offered in Bishop Berkeley's writings on vision, pr…
"This work by and about Max Wertheimer collects together new translations of his two most important articles and places them in both historical and contemporary contexts with contributions by Michael Wertheimer [and others]"--Provided by publisher.Two seminal articles by a founder of the Gestalt school of psychology, newly translated and accompanied by essays that connect his work to current re…
The collision of new technologies, changing business strategies, and innovative storytelling that produced a new golden age of TV.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
"The authors construct theories and methods for "distant viewing" as a method for analyzing collections of digitized visual materials with computer vision"--OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
"A Bradford book."Here, leading scientists and philosophers examine new problems with new analytic tools, considering such topics as the psychophysical measurement of colour and its implications, and questions that arise from what we now know about the neural processing of colour information, colour consciousness, and colour language.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
