This chapter focuses on one of the first steps in comprehending spoken language: How do
listeners extract the most fundamental linguistic elements—consonants and vowels, or the …

Recent developments are reviewed in the computation of motion and structure of objects in
a scene from a sequence of images. Two distinct paradigms are highlighted:(i) the feature …

We present a technique for building a three-dimensional description of a static scene from a
dense sequence of images. These images are taken in such rapid succession that they form …

" Don Hoffman... combines a deep understanding of the logic of perception, a gift for
explaining it with simple displays that anyone can-quite literally-see, and a refreshing sense …

The structure-from-motion problem has been extensively studied in the field of computer
vision. Yet, the bulk of the existing work assumes that the scene contains only a single …

Gordon Lynn Walls, a comparative anatomist, observed,“If asked what aspect of vision
means the most to them, a watchmaker may answer 'acuity,'a night flier 'sensitivity,'and an …

Two types of theories have been advanced to account for how attention is allocated in
performing goal-directed visual tasks. According to location-based theories, visual attention …

Scene flow is the three-dimensional motion field of points in the world, just as optical flow is
the two-dimensional motion field of points in an image. Any optical flow is simply the …

We cast the problem of motion segmentation of feature trajectories as linear manifold finding
problems and propose a general framework for motion segmentation under affine …

Inferring the 3D structures of nonrigidly moving objects from images is a difficult yet basic
problem in computational vision. Our approach makes use of dynamic, elastically …
