Goal: A Computational Model of Vision
1. Image Segmentation– Parsing, from pixels to regions

Wing
2. Object Recognition– Grouping and labeling of regions
3
An Empirical Approach
• Use 1000 images, each segmented by 10 human subjects in order to establish ground truth
• Evaluate hundreds of algorithmic design choices based on performance on test data set.
• Calibrate parameters to best match human data.

Summary
• Around 20 processor years worth of experiments (10 – 20 experiments a day, each run on set of 300 images)
• Final product is a boundary detector which outperforms existing methods and matches human performance for the local boundary detection task.
