Computational Vision

In this course, we will expand on vision as a cognitive problem space and explore models that address various vision tasks. We will then explore how the boundaries of these problems lead to a more complex analysis of the mind and the brain and how these explorations lead to more complex computational models of understanding.

• Introduction
• This week we will explore some basic assumptions of a simple model of human vision.
• Edges, Depth, and Objects
• This week we will explore models of higher-order tasks solved by the visual system.
• Mental Imagery
• This week we will compare and contrast different perspectives of how mental imagery relates to the visual system.
• Machine Learning and Neural Networks
• This week we will explore the neuron as an element of the human cognitive system and ways we can implement these pieces into neural network systems of artificial intelligence.
