Vision in Man and Machine

This lecture treats aspects of vision from the computer science, psychophysics, and neurobiological point of view. Starting from a phenomenology of human vision, biological and psychological basics, the foundations of image processing are developed, finally leading to more advanced concepts like multi-scale and wavelet analysis, and algorithms for face and object recognition.

The lecture is suited for students of computer science, biology, physics, engineering, and psychology.

About the INI

The Institut für Neuroinformatik (INI) is a research unit of the Faculty of Computer Science at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Its scientific goal is to understand the fundamental principles through which organisms generate behavior and cognition while linked to their environments through sensory and effector systems. Inspired by our insights into such natural cognitive systems, we seek new solutions to problems of information processing in artificial cognitive systems. We draw from a variety of disciplines that include experimental psychology and neurophysiology as well as machine learning, neural artificial intelligence, computer vision, and robotics.
