Linking psychophysics, neurophysiology, and computational vision

Linking psychophysics, neurophysiology, and computational vision Linking psychophysics, neurophysiology, and computational vision Spatial Vision is pleased to publish the following abstracts of papers to be presented at a conference at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, from April 30 to May 1, 1993, held to celebrate the 65th birthday of Bela Julesz. The theme of the conference was chosen to best represent Julesz' research efforts and long-term goals. Since his seminal contribution of the random-dot stereogram technique, Julesz has striven to establish links among the various disciplines in vision research and to motivate colleagues in related fields to address common problems. In particular, Julesz was one of the pioneers to propose computational models for stereopsis and texture segregation. In addition, he established joint projects with neurophysiologists for studying stereopsis, texture perception and attentional mechanisms (for a review, see Julesz, B. 'Early vision and focal attention', Reviews of Modern Physics, 63(3), 735-772, 1991), including efforts to understand the root causes of stereo-blindness and its relation to strabismus. In recent years, his interests have turned towards focal attention, connecting perception to visual cognition. He has always emphasized interdisciplinary research, or 'scientific bilingualism' to use his happy turn of phrase, which became the theme for this conference. Once the general theme was chosen, the next step was to select a few key areas in vision research, and to illustrate for each of these areas, the inter-dependence and interaction of the work of scientists from the three most relevant disciplines: Visual psychophysics, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Computational vision. Considering Julesz' interests and relevant work, the following key areas were selected: Stereopsis, Visual texture discrimination, Attentional mechanisms in early vision, and Motion perception. The four sessions of the Conference (and the following Abstracts) are arranged by these areas. The speakers were selected from all twelve combinations of areas and disciplines. They were asked to emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of their research, and to illustrate how the interactions of specialists in these disciplines facilitate efforts to understand biological vision and advance machine vision.

Abstract

Linking psychophysics, neurophysiology, and computational vision Spatial Vision is pleased to publish the following abstracts of papers to be presented at a conference at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, from April 30 to May 1, 1993, held to celebrate the 65th birthday of Bela Julesz.
