Research Summary

In Vision Computation Lab, we employ an interdisciplinary approach to (1) better understand how our visual system encodes the visual world and decodes relevant information in a statistically or information-theoretically optimal sense to form our visual perception (visual coding and computation); and (2) develop image processing and computer vision algorithms inspired by strategies from biological vision for enhancement of machine vision and imaging systems (neuro-inspired computational vision).
