  • Theoretical Understanding of the Early Visual Processes by Data
    Theoretical understanding of the early visual processes by data compression and data selection Published in Network: computation in neural systems, December 2006, Vol 17, Number 4, Page 301-334 Li Zhaoping Department of Psychology, University College London, UK Abstract: Early vision is best understood in terms of two key information bottlenecks along the visual pathway — the optic nerve and, more severely, attention. Two effective strategies for sampling and representing visual inputs in the light of the bottlenecks are (1) data compression with minimum information loss and (2) data deletion. This paper reviews two lines of theoretical work which understand processes in retina and primary visual cortex (V1) in this framework. The first is an efficient coding principle which argues that early visual processes compress input into a more effi- cient form to transmit as much information as possible through channels of limited capacity. It can explain the properties of visual sampling and the nature of the receptive fields of retina and V1. It has also been argued to reveal the independent causes of the inputs. The second theoretical tack is the hypothesis that neural activities in V1 represent the bottom up saliencies of visual inputs, such that information can be selected for, or discarded from, detailed or attentive processing. This theory links V1 physiology with pre-attentive visual selection behavior. By making experimentally testable predictions, the potentials and limitations of both sets of theories can be explored. 1 Introduction and scope Vision is the most intensively studied aspect of the brain, physiologically, anatomically, and be- haviorally (Zigmond et al 1999).

  • Speaker Karlsruhe Days of Optics & Photonics 2021
    Speaker Karlsruhe Days of Optics & Photonics 2021 Abstract: Looking, Seeing, and the Central-Peripheral Dichotomy --- a new framework to understand how vision works in our brain Prof. Dr. Li Zhaoping Visual attention selects only a tiny fraction of visual input information for further processing. Selection starts in the primary visual cortex (V1), which creates a bottom-up saliency map (V1 Saliency Hypothesis, V1SH) to guide the fovea to selected visual locations via gaze shifts. This motivates a new framework that views vision as consisting of encoding, selection, and decoding stages, placing selection on center stage. It suggests a massive loss of non-selected information from V1 downstream along the visu- al pathway. Hence, feedback from downstream visual cortical areas to V1 for better decoding (recognition), through analysis-by- synthesis, should query for additional information and be mainly directed at the foveal region (Central-Pe- ripheral Dichotomy, CPD). Accordingly, non-foveal vision is not only poorer in spatial resolution, but also more susceptible to many illusions. Some background/details are in http:// www.lizhaoping.org/zhaoping/NewPathPaperEtc_2019.html I will also show the latest findings, including a peripheral illusion predicted by this framework and a stereo vision paradigm as an example to investigate the analysis-by-synthesis process in the top-down feedback for visual inference in central vision.

  • Visual Segmentation by Contextual Influences Via Intra
    Network: Comput. Neural Syst. 10 (1999) 187–212. Printed in the UK PII: S0954-898X(99)96007-4 Visual segmentation by contextual influences via intra-cortical interactions in the primary visual cortex Zhaoping Li Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, 17 Queen Square, University College London, London WC1N 3AR, UK Received 21 July 1998, in final form 4 January 1999 Abstract. Stimuli outside classical receptive fields have been shown to exert a significant influence over the activities of neurons in the primary visual cortex. We propose that contextual influences are used for pre-attentive visual segmentation. The difference between contextual influences near and far from region boundaries makes neural activities near region boundaries higher than elsewhere, making boundaries more salient for perceptual pop-out. The cortex thus computes global region boundaries by detecting the breakdown of homogeneity or translation invariance in the input, using local intra-cortical interactions mediated by the horizontal connections. This proposal is implemented in a biologically based model of V1, and demonstrated using examples of texture segmentation and figure–ground segregation. The model is also the first that performs texture or region segmentation in exactly the same neural circuit that solves the dual problem of the enhancement of contours, as is suggested by experimental observations. The computational framework in this model is simpler than previous approaches, making it implementable by V1 mechanisms, though higher-level visual mechanisms are needed to refine its output. However, it easily handles a class of segmentation problems that are known to be tricky. Its behaviour is compared with psycho-physical and physiological data on segmentation, contour enhancement, contextual influences and other phenomena such as asymmetry in visual search.

  • Pre-Attentive Segmentation in the Primary Visual Cortex
    Pre-attentive segmentation in the primary visual cortex Zhaoping Li Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit University College London 17 Queen Square, London, WC1N, 3AR, U.K. email: [email protected] fax: 44 171 391 1173 Short title: Pre-attentive segmentation in V1. Published in Spatial Vision, Volumn 13(1), p. 25-50, (2000). Abstract The activities of neurons in primary visual cortex have been shown to be significantly influenced by stimuli outside their classical receptive fields. We propose that these contextual influences serve pre-attentive vi- sual segmentation by causing relatively higher neural responses to impor- tant or conspicuous image locations, making them more salient for percep- tual pop-out. These locations include boundaries between regions, smooth contours, and pop-out targets against backgrounds. The mark of these locations is the breakdown of spatial homogeneity in the input, for in- stance, at the border between two texture regions of equal mean luminance. This breakdown causes changes in contextual influences, often resulting in higher responses at the border than at surrounding locations. This proposal is implemented in a biologically based model of V1 in which contextual in- fluences are mediated by intra-cortical horizontal connections. The behav- ior of the model is demonstrated using examples of texture segmentation, figure-ground segregation, target-distractor asymmetry, and contour en- hancement, and is compared with psychophysical and physiological data. The model predicts (1) how neural responses should be tuned to the ori- entation of nearby texture borders, (2) a set of qualitative constraints on the structure of the intracortical connections, and (3) stimulus dependent biases in estimating the locations of the region borders by pre-attentive vi- sion.
