Theories on visual perception agree that scenes are processed in terms of spatial
frequencies. Low spatial frequencies (LSF) carry coarse information whereas high spatial …

Perception is substantially facilitated by top‐down influences, typically seen as predictions.
Here, we outline that the process is competitive in nature, in that sensory input initially …

Visual analysis begins with the parallel extraction of different attributes at different spatial
frequencies. Low spatial frequencies (LSF) convey coarse information and are characterized …

What are the roles of central and peripheral vision in human scene recognition? Larson and
Loschky (2009) showed that peripheral vision contributes more than central vision in …

It has been suggested that, during evolution, specific mechanisms developed in order to
optimize the detection of threats and opportunities even in perceptually degraded …

The purpose of image quality assessment is to estimate digital images' perceptual quality
coherent with human judgement. Over the years, many structural features have been utilized …

The investigation of visual categorization has recently been aided by the introduction of
deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which achieve unprecedented accuracy in …

Predicting an interaction before it is fully executed is very important in applications, such as
human-robot interaction and video surveillance. In a two-human interaction scenario, there …

Visual processing of natural scenes is carried out in a hierarchical sequence of stages that
involve the analysis of progressively more complex features of the visual input. Recent …

Popular movies present chunk‐like events (scenes and subscenes) that promote episodic,
serial updating of viewers' representations of the ongoing narrative. Event‐indexing theory …
