Depth Perception and Spatial Vision01:15

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision

2.0K
Depth perception is the ability to perceive objects three-dimensionally. It relies on two types of cues: binocular and monocular. Binocular cues depend on the combination of images from both eyes and how the eyes work together. Since the eyes are in slightly different positions, each eye captures a slightly different image. This disparity between images, known as binocular disparity, helps the brain interpret depth. When the brain compares these images, it determines the distance to an object.

Vision01:24

Vision

60.1K
Vision is the result of light being detected and transduced into neural signals by the retina of the eye. This information is then further analyzed and interpreted by the brain. First, light enters the front of the eye and is focused by the cornea and lens onto the retina—a thin sheet of neural tissue lining the back of the eye. Because of refraction through the convex lens of the eye, images are projected onto the retina upside-down and reversed.

Subliminal Perception01:15

Subliminal Perception

799
Subliminal perception refers to the processing of sensory information that occurs below the level of conscious awareness. Researchers study subliminal perception by presenting a stimulus, such as a word or image, very quickly, typically around 50 milliseconds. This rapid presentation is often followed by another stimulus, such as a pattern of dots or lines, which blocks further mental processing of the initial stimulus. As a result, if participants cannot identify the initial stimulus better...

Factors Affecting Perception01:25

Factors Affecting Perception

2.8K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.
An illustrative example of a perceptual set is the scenario where an airline pilot told...

Perception01:28

Perception

1.2K
Perception is a fundamental psychological process that enables individuals to organize, interpret, and consciously experience sensory information. This process is crucial for understanding and interacting with the world around us. It includes both bottom-up and top-down processing, each playing a distinct role in how we perceive our environment.
Bottom-up processing begins at the sensory level, where receptors detect external environmental stimuli. These could include the tactile sensation of...

Color Vision01:24

Color Vision

1.5K
Color perception begins in the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. Two main theories explain how colors are seen: the trichromatic theory and the opponent-process theory. The trichromatic theory, proposed by Thomas Young in 1802 and extended by Hermann von Helmholtz in 1852, suggests that color vision is based on three types of cone receptors in the retina. These cones are sensitive to different but overlapping ranges of wavelengths corresponding to red, blue, and green.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Vision
    • Robotics
    • Artificial Intelligence

    Background:

    • Dynamic Vision Sensors (DVSs) offer event-based, bio-inspired vision processing, unlike traditional cameras.
    • DVS pixel activity is triggered by changes in light intensity, not static frames.
    • Object recognition using DVSs on moving platforms is gaining traction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel platform for object recognition using a DVS integrated with a pan-tilt unit and neural network.
    • To investigate the impact of micro-saccades on object recognition accuracy and efficiency.
    • To develop intelligent saccadic movement strategies for reduced latency and power consumption.

    Main Methods:

    • A closed-loop system combining a DVS on a pan-tilt unit with a recognition neural network.
    • Emulation of micro-saccades by moving the pan-tilt unit to gather object information.
    • Development and evaluation of a smart saccadic movement algorithm and a learning-based artificial neural network controller.

    Main Results:

    • Increased saccades generally improve object recognition accuracy by providing more information.
    • Intelligent saccadic movement strategies can maintain recognition accuracy while reducing saccade count by 50% on average.
    • Both a proposed algorithm and a learned artificial neural network controller achieved this significant reduction in saccades on the N-MNIST dataset.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimizing saccadic movements in DVS-based vision systems is crucial for efficient, high-performance object recognition.
    • The proposed intelligent control methods significantly reduce the computational and energy costs associated with DVS-based object recognition.
    • This work demonstrates a practical approach to enhance the performance of low-latency, low-power vision processing platforms.
