An integrated approach of visual computational modelling

Abstract

Introduces a high level model of visual perception, based on a multidisciplinary approach. The purpose of this model is to extract and to integrate some of the properties of the visual process that incorporates its flexibility and autonomy. Its structure includes a figurative component, which builds the mental representation of the surroundings, and an operative component, which regulates and guides the whole process. Each one of the components is subdivided in three hierarchical levels. The lower level is based on the organism topology, the higher one is based on the external three dimensional space. The intermediate performs the transition between the others. These high level modules can be implemented with computational models already designed and tested that can be found in the literature on visual computational research.
