— The operation of V1 simple cells in primates has been traditionally modelled with linear models resembling Gabor filters, whereas the functionality of subsequent visual cortic...
Images typically contain smooth regions, which are easily compressed by linear transforms, and high activity regions (edges, textures), which are harder to compress. To compress t...

Interest point detection in still images is a well-studied topic in computer vision. In the spatiotemporal domain, however, it is still unclear which features indicate useful inter...
We present new fingerprint classification algorithms based on two machine learning approaches: support vector machines (SVMs), and recursive neural networks (RNNs). RNNs are traine...

In this paper we regard first the situation where parallel channels are disturbed by noise. With the goal of maximal information conservation we deduce the conditions for a transf...
