decades. With each year comes an increasing number of new IQA algorithms, extensions of …

Natural image statistics and neural representation

EP Simoncelli, BA Olshausen - Annual review of neuroscience, 2001 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract It has long been assumed that sensory neurons are adapted, through both
evolutionary and developmental processes, to the statistical properties of the signals to …

Object perception as Bayesian inference

D Kersten, P Mamassian, A Yuille - Annu. Rev. Psychol., 2004 - annualreviews.org

complexity and objective ambiguities of natural images. Typical images are highly complex …

Contour integration by the human visual system: evidence for a local “association field”

DJ Field, A Hayes, RF Hess - Vision research, 1993 - Elsevier
The Gestalt law of “good continuation” has been used to describe a variety of phenomena
demonstrating the importance of continuity in human perception. In this study, we consider …

Health benefits of nature experience: Psychological, social and cultural processes

T Hartig, AE Van Den Berg, CM Hagerhall… - Forests, trees and …, 2011 - Springer
In this chapter we consider how experiences of nature can affect human health and well-
being. We first address the matter of 'what has been'; that is, we sketch the development of …

: A Spectral and Spatial Measure of Local Perceived Sharpness in Natural Images

CT Vu, TD Phan, DM Chandler - IEEE transactions on image …, 2011 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper presents an algorithm designed to measure the local perceived sharpness in an
image. Our method utilizes both spectral and spatial properties of the image: For each block …

On the local behavior of spaces of natural images

G Carlsson, T Ishkhanov, V De Silva… - International journal of …, 2008 - Springer
In this study we concentrate on qualitative topological analysis of the local behavior of the
space of natural images. To this end, we use a space of 3 by 3 high-contrast patches ℳ. We …
