Cognitive Vision
PRIP is involved in the Austrian Joint Research Program (JRP) on Cognitive Vision, which scientific objectives are to study cognitive vision systems implied in every day life. PRIP's basic research focuses on representations used in cognitive processes related to vision in sub-project 3 of the JRP.
Among different topics studied at PRIP, we can list:
Hierarchical Graph-based Representations are structures very well suited for pyramidal/hierarchical representation of topological information
Topological Representations enable to understand and encode the properties of objects invariant under geometric transformations.
Pyramidal Representations lead to efficient ways of encoding generic topological models.
2D + 3D Combinatorial Maps and Pyramids can be used to produce hierarchical graph-based representations.
Traveling Salesman Problem Solving. Representations of cognitive processes themselves involved in (visual) problem solving is one of the key issues when one wants to design cognitive vision systems which mimic human perception. Understanding processes inherent to the human visual system is the first step toward the design of cognitive vision systems.
In addition to the previously described area of research, PRIP is involved in sub-project 7, which aims to integrate the results from the different sub-projects.
A list of the Publications created during the first part of the project can be found here.
