“…This can then be further transformed using a Fourier transform, Which is shift invariant, to render the final transform independent of size. Autocorrelation is another method that has been suggested (Gerrissen, 1982; Kröse, 1985; Uttal, 1975).…”

Visual science is currently a highly active domain, with much progress being made in fields such as colour vision, stereo vision, perception of brightness and contrast, visual illusions, etc. But the "real" mystery of visual perception remains comparatively unfathomed, or at least relegated to philosophical status: Why it is that we can see so well with what is apparently such a badly constructed visual apparatus?In this paper I will discuss several defects of vision and the classical theories of how they are overcome. 1 will criticize these theories and suggest an alternative approach, in which the outside world is considered as a kind of external memory store which can be accessed instantaneously by casting one's eyes (or one's attention) to some location. The feeling of the presence and extreme richness of the visual world is, under this view, a kind of illusion, created by the immediate availability of the information in this external store.

“…Since the correlation process is assumed to take place at an early stage of information transfer, the characteristics of the human image sampling array have to be considered. Based on physiological (Hubel and Wiesel 1974;Schwartz 1977), psychophysical (Wilson 1983) or information theoretical (Gerrissen 1982) considerations, a description in which the retina is constructed from concentric rings of sampling units with increasing density in the direction of the centre is proposed. This "sunflower heart" distribution of sampling units can be considered as a particular case of a model which represents the retina as a stack of self similar detector arrays (Crettez and Simon 1982;Koenderink and van Doorn 1978;Burton et al 1986).…”

Local structure analyzers as determinants of preattentive pattern discrimination

Contemporary literature suggests that preattentive texture or pattern discrimination is induced by differences between local structure features or "textons." This paper presents a model for the description of such local structure features based on the computation of local autocorrelations within the image. By means of this structure model a measure of structure dissimilarity is introduced. Experiments have been carried out to test a hypothesized relation between the detectability of a target pattern in a field of background patterns and the value of the structure dissimilarity measure. The experimental results show that it seems justified to relate, in a quantitative way, the detectability of the target pattern to the value of the structure dissimilarity measure.
