Call for Papers for a Special Issue of 'Vision Research' on
"Models of Recognition"
One of the ultimate goals of visual processing in artificial and biological
vision systems is the recognition of objects and events in the world. The past
decade has seen a surge in the computational and experimental study of visual
recognition. Increases in our understanding of the early stages of visual
processing have provided a strong scientific foundation from which to explore
such higher-level aspects of vision. Advances in computer technology have
allowed realistic testing of recognition models in computer vision systems,
and the creation of rich visual displays for the study of human recognition
in natural contexts. Recent advances in the physiological study of face and
object recognition in higher cortical areas has fueled our desire to
understand the underlying computational mechanisms. The study of recognition
has encompassed a broad range of issues including the representation of
objects and events, matching of the viewed image to internal representations,
indexing into model databases, segmentation and grouping of image features to
facilitate recognition, and the role of selective attention and search in
the recognition process.
The journal 'Vision Research' is devoting a special issue to the
computational study of visual recognition. We welcome contributions on the
design and analysis of computational models of aspects of the recognition
process. We also encourage contributions that present experimental
observations on the human recognition process, within a computational
framework.
Please submit one copy of your manuscript to Ellen Hildreth and four
copies to the central office of 'Vision Research'. Submission deadline is
December 31, 1996.
