Local object gist: meaningful shapes and spatial layout at a very early stage o...

In his introduction, Pinna (2010) quoted one of Wertheimer’s observations: “I stand at the window and see a house, trees, sky. Theoretically I might say there were 327 brightnesses and nuances of color. Do I have ‘327’? No. I have sky, house, and trees.” This seems quite remarkable, for Max Wertheimer, together with Kurt Koffka and Wolfgang Koehler, was a pioneer of Gestalt Theory: perceptual organisation ...

A disparity energy model improved by line, edge and keypoint correspondences

Disparity energy models (DEMs) estimate local depth information on the basis ofVl complex cells. Our recent DEM (Martins et al, 2011 ISSPlT261-266) employs a population code. Once the population's cells have been trained with randorn-dot stereograms, it is applied at all retinotopic positions in the visual field. Despite producing good results in textured regions, the model needs to be made more precise, especi...

Local gist vision of man-made objects

Attention is usually modelled by sequential fixation of peaks in saliency maps. Those maps code local conspicuity: complexity, colour and texture. Such features have no relation to entire objects, unless also disparity and optical flow are considered, which often segregate entire objects from their background. Recently we developed a model of local gist vision: which types of objects are about where in a sce...

Disparity energy model with keypoint disparity validation

A biological disparity energy model can estimate local depth information by using a population of V1 complex cells. Instead of applying an analytical model which explicitly involves cell parameters like spatial frequency, orientation, binocular phase and position difference, we developed a model which only involves the cells’ responses, such that disparity can be extracted from a population code, using only a s...

Effect of sodium and nitrogen on yield function of irrigated maize in Southern ...

Salinization and nitrate leaching are two of the leading threats to the environment of the European Mediterranean regions. Inefficient use of water and fertilizers has led to a nitrate increase in the aquifers and reduction in crop yields caused by salts. In this study, a triple emitter source irrigation system delivers water, salt (Na+), and fertilizer (N) applications to maize (Zea mays L.). The objective of ...

Focus of attention and region segregation by low-level geometry

Research has shown that regions with conspicuous colours are very effective in attracting attention, and that regions with different textures also play an important role. We present a biologically plausible model to obtain a saliency map for Focus-of-Attention (FoA), based on colour and texture boundaries. By applying grouping cells which are devoted to low-level geometry, boundary information can be completed ...

Object segregation and local gist vision using low-level geometry

Multi-scale representations of lines, edges and keypoints on the basis of simple, complex, and end-stopped cells can be used for object categorisation and recognition. These representations are complemented by saliency maps of colour, texture, disparity and motion information, which also serve to model extremely fast gist vision in parallel with object segregation. We present a low-level geometry model based on...

Revisão de intemperismo de micas.

ABSTRACT: The micas are rock forming mineral of the phyllosillicates group. The weathering of these minerals is fundamental in the understanding of potassium, silicon and magnesium liberation processes to the soil. the existent studies shown that the main factors that control the micas weathering are the pH of the solutions, the temperature, the size of the particles and the superficial area. The micas weatheri...

A SIMPLE METHOD TO CONTROL THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE FERMENTING MEDIUM DURING...

When the moisture content of the fermenting medium significantly decreases during laboratory-scale solid-state fermentation tests, the quantity of water to be periodically added to the medium in order to control its moisture content may be evaluated from the water evaporation rate of the non-inoculated medium.
