INFORMATION AND VISION, BY V. D. GLEZER AND I. I. TSUKKERMAN: BOOK REVIEW,
Abstract
The book discusses problems of vision, particularly from the standpoint of information theory. Chapter 1 contains considerable experimental data on the receptive fields of the retina. Chapter 2 contains elementary in formation on information theory. Chapter 3, mainly on television images, shows the advantages of statistical coding and proposes a connection between the phenomena of physical optics and the principles of statistical coding. Chapter 4 concerns information theory, specifically the transmission of communications along a channel with noise, an attempt being made to prove that the visual system satisfies the properties of the ideal system of Shannon.
