The "Independent Components" of Natural Scenes are Edge Filters
, 1997
"... It has previously been suggested that neurons with line and edge selectivities found in primary visual cortex of cats and monkeys form a sparse, distributed representation of natural scenes, and it has been reasoned that such responses should emerge from an unsupervised learning algorithm that attem ..."

A bayesian hierarchical model for learning natural scene categories
- In CVPR
, 2005
"... We propose a novel approach to learn and recognize natural scene categories. Unlike previous work [9, 17], it does not require experts to annotate the training set. We represent the image of a scene by a collection of local regions, denoted as codewords obtained by unsupervised learning. Each region ..."

Beyond bags of features: Spatial pyramid matching for recognizing natural scene categories
- In CVPR
"... This paper presents a method for recognizing scene categories based on approximate global geometric correspondence. This technique works by partitioning the image into increasingly fine sub-regions and computing histograms of local features found inside each sub-region. The resulting “spatial pyrami ..."

Chromatic structure of natural scenes
, 2001
"... We applied independent component analysis (ICA) to hyperspectral images in order to learn an efficient representation of color in natural scenes. In the spectra of single pixels, the algorithm found basis functions that had broadband spectra and basis functions that were similar to natural reflectan ..."

Natural Scene Statistics At the Centre of Gaze
- Network: Computation in Neural Systems
, 1999
"... . Early stages of visual processing may exploit the characteristic structure of natural visual stimuli. This structure may differ from the intrinsic structure of natural scenes, because sampling of the environment is an active process. For example, humans move their eyes several times a second when ..."

Detecting and reading text in natural scenes
- In Proc. of the IEEE Conf. on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
, 2004
"... This paper gives an algorithm for detecting and reading text in natural images. The algorithm is intended for use by blind and visually impaired subjects walking through city scenes. We first obtain a dataset of city images taken by blind and normally sighted subjects. From this dataset, we manually ..."

Multiple-Instance Learning for Natural Scene Classification
- In The Fifteenth International Conference on Machine Learning
, 1998
"... Multiple-Instance learning is a way of modeling ambiguity in supervised learning examples. Each example is a bag of instances, but only the bag is labeled - not the individual instances. A bag is labeled negative if all the instances are negative, and positive if at least one of the instances in pos ..."

in positive. We apply the Multiple-Instance learning framework to the problem of learning how to classify natural images. Images are inherently ambiguous since they can represent many different things. A user labels an image as positive if the image somehow contains the concept. Each image is a bag

Disparity statistics in natural scenes

However, the distribution of binocular disparities in natural environments has not been quantitatively measured.
