   Computational Models of Early Vision

The physics of light and the initial stages of vision limit and shape the image information available for most visual functions. Key factors include quantum fluctuations in light absorption, physiological optics, photo-transduction, eye movements, and signal processing by retinal and early cortical circuitry. It is now possible to capture our understanding of these factors in closely reasoned quantitative computational models. Moreover, the implications of early vision on performance can be clarified by calculations that link these initial visual representations to performance on well-defined tasks. Such calculations may be defined analytically (e.g., ideal observers) or implemented using machine learning techniques. This special issue will bring together recent work in this area, highlight progress, and describe applications ranging from image systems engineering to understanding disease.
