Vision, Brain, and Cooperative Computation

Edited by Michael A. Arbib and Allen R. Hanson
Overview

Broad in scope and packed with useful detail, Vision, Brain, and Cooperative Computation explores what can be learned about visual cognition from an understanding of visual neurophysiology and of the mathematics of parallel computation.

In four parts—visual neurophysiology, visual psychophysics, machine vision and robotics, and connectionism and cooperative computation—the book covers current theories of visual information processing in humans and other animals and current methodologies for designing computer vision systems.
