392214 Vision in human and machine (V+Ü) (SoSe 2012)

The target of this lecture is to demonstrate the current understanding
of visual processing in the human brain and how this has led
to new model approaches for computer vision algorithms that
are highly competitive with other state-of-the-art approaches.

• Models of visual processing in the human brain
• Gestalt Perception
• Feature Detection in early visual processing
• Object representation in the brain
• Action-centered representations and mirror neurons

• Biologically motivated computer vision approaches
• Perceptual grouping models and applications
• Wavelets and Gabors for Image Processing
• Hierarchical object recognition models
• Vision for cognitive robotics
