Over the last three decades there has been significant progress in
computer vision: it can now be used successfully for specific problems
over many application areas. However, limited progress has been
achieved on cognitive tasks such as general recognition (i.e.
categorization) and scene understanding. Even given its successes, the
remarkable abilities of human visual perception are currently still
far beyond those of machine vision. These abilities are based in part
on generic processes for image analysis, including powerful
segmentation and figure-ground processes, colour constancy, the
ability to estimate the 3D shape of objects using a variety of cues,
etc. Human visual perception is equally remarkable for the largely
unconscious mobilisation of knowledge about what the image means, or
connotes. It has become clear that the processes of image analysis,
memory (knowledge), and reasoning are closely inter-woven in the
process that we call perception ... [read more about the projects objectives] |
