convolution with a set of filters, a center-surround mechanism and spatial pooling to …

[HTML][HTML] Color illusions also deceive CNNs for low-level vision tasks: Analysis and implications

A Gomez-Villa, A Martín, J Vazquez-Corral… - Vision Research, 2020 - Elsevier

this work we start by showing that, while convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained for …

[HTML][HTML] Toward a unified chromatic induction model

X Otazu, CA Parraga, M Vanrell - Journal of Vision, 2010 - iovs.arvojournals.org
In a previous work (X. Otazu, M. Vanrell, & CA Párraga, 2008b), we showed how several

Which tone-mapping operator is the best? A comparative study of perceptual quality

CA Parraga, X Otazu - JOSA A, 2018 - opg.optica.org
Tone-mapping operators (TMOs) are designed to generate perceptually similar low-dynamic-

[HTML][HTML] From image processing to computational neuroscience: a neural model based on histogram equalization

M Bertalmío - Frontiers in computational neuroscience, 2014 - frontiersin.org
There are many ways in which the human visual system works to reduce the inherent
redundancy of the visual information in natural scenes, coding it in an efficient way. The non …

Non‐linear system modelling based on NARX model expansion on Laguerre orthonormal bases

Color visual illusions: A statistics-based computational model

E Hirsch, A Tal - Advances in neural information processing …, 2020 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Visual illusions may be explained by the likelihood of patches in real-world images, as
argued by input-driven paradigms in Neuro-Science. However, neither the data nor the tools …

[HTML][HTML] A neurodynamical model of brightness induction in V1

O Penacchio, X Otazu, L Dempere-Marco - PloS one, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Brightness induction is the modulation of the perceived intensity of an area by the luminance
of surrounding areas. Recent neurophysiological evidence suggests that brightness …
