The computational approach to the study of vision inquires directly into the sort of information processing needed to extract important information from the changing visual image---information such as the three-dimensional ...

The analysis of visual motion divides naturally into two stages: the first is the measurement of motion, for example, the assignment of direction and magnitude of velocity to elements in the image, on the basis of the ...

This paper presents an approach to recognition where an object is first {\\it aligned} with an image using a small number of pairs of model and image features, and then the aligned model is compared directly against ...

This paper examines the problem of shape-based object recognition and proposes a new approach, the alignment of pictorial descriptions. The first part of the paper reviews general approaches to visual object recognition ...

Visual object recognition requires the matching of an image with a set of models stored in memory. In this paper we propose an approach to recognition in which a 3-D object is represented by the linear combination of 2-D ...

To interface between the one-dimensional scanning of an image, and the applications of a two-dimensional operator, an intermediate storage is required. For a square image of size n2, and a square operator of size m2, ...

The human visual system can extract 3-D shape information of unfamiliar moving objects from their projected transformations. Computational studies of this capacity have established that 3-D shape, can be extracted ...

Certain salient structures in images attract our immediate attention without requiring a systematic scan. We present a method for computing saliency by a simple iterative scheme, using a uniform network of locally ...

This paper examines the processing of visual information beyond the creation of the early representations. A fundamental requirement at this level is the capacity to establish visually abstract shape properties and ...
