Abstract

Work in progress at Georgia Tech to develop a model of human pattern perception, visual search, and detection is reviewed. The model's algorithms are based on research on low-level visual processes. Recent advances in the field have led to the development of computational models of the image processing performed by the visual system from the cornea to the striate cortex. The model also incorporates recent advances from research on visual search. The organization of the model for predicting target acquisition, analyzing target signatures, and specifying low-observable requirements is discussed.
