Equipment for Computational Studies of Vision

Abstract

The equipment provided funds for the purchase of a Symbolics 3600 Lisp Machine and associated imaging equipment. The imaging equipment consisted of a serpentine memory and frame buffer from Robotic Systems, Incorporated. The funds awarded for a color monitor, $1,450, was originally to be supplemented by funds from AFOSR contract F49620-83-C-0093. Since the monitor could not be purchased by combining the two sources of funds, we purchased a Tektronix 690SR color monitor from the AFOSR contract and a NEC printer from this grant. The equipment has been used to investigate the visual mechanisms underlying the detection of discontinuities and structure in visual texture. Psychophysical experiments have investigated the salience of bar orientation and the effects of grouping in texture segmentation. We are examining the role of elongated receptive fluid mechanisms in computing local measures of texture and their possible role in texture segmentation. A more detailed exposition of our research can be found in the annual report for the AFOSR contract. (RRH)
