Bubbles swMATH ID: 8870 Software Authors: Aapo Hyvärinen; Jarmo Hurri; Jaakko Väyrynen Description: Bubbles: a unifying framework for low-level statistical properties of natural image sequences. Recently, different models of the statistical structure of natural images have been proposed. These models predict properties of biological visual systems and can be used as priors in Bayesian inference. The fundamental model is independent component analysis, which can be estimated by maximization of the sparsenesses of linear filter outputs. This leads to the emergence of principal simple cell properties. Alternatively, simple cell properties are obtained by maximizing the temporal coherence in natural image sequences. Taking account of the basic dependencies of linear filter outputs permit modeling of complex cells and topographic organization as well. We propose a unifying framework for these statistical properties, based on the concept of spatiotemporal activity “bubbles.” A bubble means here an activation of simple cells (linear filters) that is contiguous both in space (the cortical surface) and in time Homepage: http://www.opticsinfobase.org/josaa/abstract.cfm?uri=JOSAA-20-7-1237 Related Software: LIBSVM; MNIST; sfa; R; JPEG2000 Referenced in: 8 Publications all top 5 Referenced by 22 Authors 1 Amiri, Ashkan 1 Camps-Valls, Gustavo 1 Gómez-Pérez, Gabriel 1 Haykin, Simon S. 1 Hoyer, Patrik O. 1 Huang, Yaping 1 Hurri, Jarmo 1 Hyvärinen, Aapo 1 Karklin, Yan 1 König, Peter 1 Krüger, Norbert 1 Lewicki, Michael S. 1 Liu, Yunhui 1 Luo, Siwei 1 Lyu, Siwei 1 Malo, Jesús 1 Sahani, Maneesh 1 Simoncelli, Eero P. 1 Tian, Mei 1 Turner, Richard E. 1 Zhao, Jiali 1 Zou, Qi Referenced in 5 Serials 4 Neural Computation 1 Biological Cybernetics 1 Information Sciences 1 Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR) 1 Computational Imaging and Vision Referenced in 5 Fields 6 Computer science (68-XX) 3 Biology and other natural sciences (92-XX) 2 Game theory, economics, finance, and other social and behavioral sciences (91-XX) 2 Information and communication theory, circuits (94-XX) 1 Systems theory; control (93-XX) Referencing Publications by Year
