A NEW FIELD OF RESEARCH IN VISUAL COGNITION

Authors

Abstract

The purpose of the present article is to present a new
field of work for specialists in visual perception. Following cognition
science and one of its areas - artificial intelligence - a new field of research
emerges, which is called computer vision. Mathematical
morphology is emphasized in order to evidence the similarity between
human and computer vision, by means of the concepts of Fourier
formalism. The problems involved in image processing research are
discussed and a way of reducing high costs of conducting studies in the
field is then presented. The main scope of this new field of research is
the development of new models for visual cognition.
