The VISOR system ( VIsual Schemas

چکیده
| Using object recognition in simple scenes as the task, this research focuses on two fundamental problems in neural network systems: (1) processing large amounts of input with limited resources , and (2) the representation and use of struc-tured knowledge. The rst problem arises because no practical neural network can process all the visual input simultaneously and eeciently. The solution is to process a small amount of the input in parallel, and successively focus on other parts of the input. This strategy requires that the system maintains structured knowledge for describing and interpreting successively gathered information. The proposed system, VISOR, consists of two main modules. The Low-Level Visual Module (simulated using procedural programs) extracts featural and posi-tional information from the visual input. The Schema Module (implemented with neural networks) encodes structured knowledge about possible objects, and provides top-down information for the Low-Level Visual Module to focus attention at diierent parts of the scene. Working cooperatively with the Low-Level Visual Module, it builds a globally consistent interpretation of successively gathered visual information.

Analyzing Scenes in a Neural Network Model of Schema-Based Vision
A novel approach to object recognition and scene analysis based on neural network representation of visual schemas is described. Given an input scene, the VISOR system focuses attention successively at each component, and the schema representations cooperate and compete to match the inputs. The schema hierarchy is learned from examples through unsupervised adaptation and reinforcement learning....
متن کاملVisual Schemas in Neural Networks for Object Recognition and Scene Analysis
VISOR is a large connectionist system that shows how visual schemas can be learned, represented, and used through mechanisms natural to neural networks. Processing in VISOR is based on cooperation, competition, and parallel bottom-up and top-down activation of schema representations. Simulations show that VISOR is robust against noise and variations in the inputs and parameters. It can indicate...

VISOR is a neural network system for object recognition and scene analysis that learns visual schemas from examples. Processing in VISOR is based on cooperation, competition, and parallel bottom-up and top-down activation of schema representations. Similar principles appear to underlie much of human visual processing, and VISOR can therefore be used to model various perceptual phenomena. This p...
