چکیده
The Cognitive Information Processing Group works on problems related to the analysis, manipulation, and simulation of the sense data in certain human perceptual and cognitive processes. Our major interest is increased understanding of visual processes; in particular, the ways by which humans can recognize and interpret pictorial information. Thus we do research on electronic methods for simplifying pictures without altering significantly human subjective judgments of picture quality, on methods for altering pictures so as to enhance particular features and remove others, on the way humans perform sophisticated visual tasks, such as reading and writing, and on the way humans learn to recognize complicated patterns in microscopic images or photographs and categorize them without conscious effort. These studies have a variety of applications, including computer input-output devices, communication systems, sensory replacement, and many others. The studies of language and picture processing have suggested ways to substitute other senses for sight, so that a blind person can "read" printed material in ways that are not too different from the ways sighted persons use such information sources. Image-processing and patternrecognition studies are being applied to the classification of white cells in blood smears, to the detection of malignant cells in Papanicolau smears, to the diagnosis of blood dyscrasias by measurements on erythrocytes in smears, to the enhancement of x-ray images before radiological diagnosis, to chromosome classification, and to the location of marks in bacteriophage DNA.
