For people with synesthesia, sensations in two modalities are experienced when only one is stimulated (e.g., auditory stimuli might trigger colors and sounds). Synesthetes are manifestly different to the general population, but can also be different to each other. First, the condition is widely heterogeneous in that 60–150 different manifestations of synesthesia have been identified (e.g., audi...

Effective visual presentation of information has become an increasing challenge in information systems research and practice. In this study, we examined the effects of information presentation on a system’s communicating to its users the respective degree of relevance of different systemsuggested items. Based on the (visual) attributes discussed by the referenced theories, different presentatio...

We have continued development of a system for multisensor image fusion and interactive mining based on neural models of color vision processing, learning and pattern recognition. We pioneered this work while at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, initially for color fused night vision (low-light visible and uncooled thermal imagery) and later extended it to multispectral IR and 3D ladar. We also developed ...

Covering sensor surface with a Color Filter Array (CFA) and enabling a sensor pixel sample only one of three primary color values, is how single sensor digital cameras capture imagery. An interpolation process, called CFA demosaicking estimates other two missing color values at every pixel to render a full color image. This study presents two contributions to CFA demosaicking: a new and improve...

Captured imagery by terrestrial mobile mapping systems proved to be an effective tool for the extraction of road and road-side features for a variety of transportation activities. Among these features, road signs are important for several applications such as navigation and driver’s alert systems. Manual extraction of road signs from thousands of imagery is a very expensive and tedious process....

The relationship between imagery and mental representations induced through perception has been the subject of philosophical discussion since antiquity and of vigorous scientific debate in the last century. The relatively recent advent of functional neuroimaging has allowed neuroscientists to look for brain-based evidence for or against the argument that perceptual processes underlie mental ima...

The visual system processes object properties (such as shape and color) and spatial properties (such as location and spatial relations) in distinct systems, and neuropsychological evidence reveals that mental imagery respects this distinction. The findings reported in this article demonstrate that verbalizers typically perform at an intermediate level on imagery tasks, whereas visualizers can b...

The ability to characterize the color content of natural imagery is an important application of image processing. The pixel by pixel coloring of images may be viewed naturally as points in color space, and the inherent structure and distribution of these points affords a quantization, through clustering, of the color information in the image. In this paper, we present a novel topologically driv...

The Rangeview software system presented here addresses two significant issues in the development and deploymentof anAutomaticTarget Recognizer: visualization of progress of the recognizer in finding a target, and verification by an operator of the correctness of the match. The system combines range imagery from a LADAR device with optical imagery from a color CCD camera and/or FLIR sensor to di...
