Integrating Visual System Mechanisms, Computational Models and Algorithms/Technologies
Frontiers research topics · 2020
Interdisciplinary studies involving the visual system, computational models and computer vison, show great potential in promoting the joint development of these fields. The achievements and knowledge obtained through such research assists not only in understanding of the sensory system as a biological system, but can also inspire novel experimental studies and development of new computational models. Furthermore, these studies can provide new ideas and approaches for engineering algorithms and applied technologies. Both the biological visual system and the computer vison system strive to understand and interact in the visual physical world based on noisy, occluded, illuminated, partial and often inconsistent information extracted from the world. Consider even the most basic example of deciding whether 2 collinear line segments originate from two independent entities in the world or in fact originate from a single continuous line source in the world that is partially occluded. Both biological and computer systems must make educated
