Eero Simoncelli, 5/13/03

In tommorrow's meeting (2pm), I'll give an informal overview of some recent thoughts and challenges on modeling statistical properties of visual images. A number of LCV members are currently studying different aspects of this problem [Roberto, Clementine, Patrik, Shani, Timothy], so I thought it'd be useful to have a group discussion. I'll describe some of the observations that led me into this work 7 years ago, the key results thus far, and some recent observations regarding the amplitude, phase and orientation relationships of local filter responses.
