Visual segmentation is a key perceptual function that partitions visual space and allows for detection, recognition and discrimination of objects in complex environments. The processes underlying human segmentation of natural images are…
Human visual attention is subjective and biased according to the personal preference of the viewer, however, current works of saliency detection are general and objective, without counting the factor of the observer. This will make the…
View-invariant object recognition is a challenging problem, which has attracted much attention among the psychology, neuroscience, and computer vision communities. Humans are notoriously good at it, even if some variations are presumably…
