A Model for Analyzing Dependencies Between Two ICA Features in Natural Images
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we examine how the activation of one independent component analysis (ICA) feature changes first and second order statistics of other independent components in image patches. Essential for observing these dependencies is normalizing patch statistics, and selecting patches according to activation. We then estimate a model predicting the conditional statistics of a component using the properties of the corresponding feature as well as those of the conditioning feature.

Extensions of Ica as Models of Natural Images and Visual Processing
Using statistical models one can estimate features from natural images, such as images that we see in everyday life. Such models can also be used in computional visual neuroscience by relating the estimated features to the response properties of neurons in the brain. A seminal model for natural images was linear sparse coding which, in fact, turned out to be equivalent to ICA. In these linear g...
متن کاملStatistical Models of Images and Early Vision
A fundamental question in visual neuroscience is: Why are the receptive fields and response properties of visual neurons as they are? A modern approach to this problem emphasizes the importance of adaptation to ecologically valid input. In this paper, we will review work on modelling statistical regularities in ecologically valid visual input (“natural images”) and the obtained functional expla...
متن کاملModeling Nonlinear Dependencies in Natural Images using Mixture of Laplacian Distribution
Capturing dependencies in images in an unsupervised manner is important for many image processing applications. We propose a new method for capturing nonlinear dependencies in images of natural scenes. This method is an extension of the linear Independent Component Analysis (ICA) method by building a hierarchical model based on ICA and mixture of Laplacian distribution. The model parameters are...
متن کاملEmergence of Topography and Complex Cell Properties from Natural Images using Extensions of ICA
Independent component analysis of natural images leads to emergence of simple cell properties, i.e. linear lters that resemble wavelets or Gabor functions. In this paper, we extend ICA to explain further properties of V1 cells. First, we decompose natural images into independent subspaces instead of scalar components. This model leads to emergence of phase and shift invariant features , similar...
متن کاملRepresentation of images for classification with independent features
In this study, Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is used to compute features extracted from natural images. The use of ICA is justified in the context of classification of natural images for two reasons. On the one hand the model of image suggests that the underlying statistical principles may be the same as those that determine the structure of the visual cortex. As a consequence, the filte...
