CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
CONFERENCE ON VISUAL INFORMATION ASSIMILATION
IN MAN AND MACHINE
University of Michigan,
Ann Arbor, MI
June 27-29, 1990
In the last 20 years a variety of computational, psychological and neuro-
biological models of vision have been proposed. Few of these models have
presented integrated solutions; most have restricted themselves to a
single modality such as stereo, shading, motion, texture or color.
We are hosting a 3 day conference be held June 27-29, 1990 at the University
of Michigan, which will bring together leading researchers from each of
these academic areas to shed new light on the problem of how visual
information is assimilated in both man and machine. We have invited
researchers from both academic instituitions and research centers in order
to increase the cross-pollenation of ideas.
Among the questions that we anticipate to be addressed by all
perspectives are: What are the possible stages and representations
for each visual modality? How is contradictory visual information
dealt with? Is there in natural vision systems (and should there be
in computer vision) one coherent representation of the world---a
single model? If a single model will suffice, how (and where in
neurobiology) can visual information be combined into such a model?
If a single model will not suffice, or are there reasons to
believe that there are ways of partitioning visual information
among multiple models that are more likely to be used in man and
useful in machines?
