Topic:  Biological Neural Processing As a Paradigm for Visual Pattern Recognition
 
Speaker: Brad Morantz, Ph.D., 
 IEEE Computer Society Phoenix Chapter
Abstract
Many of us are aware that human (and animal) visual imaging and pattern recognition can outperform that of our best computer systems. Imagine if we could emulate some of this power and use it in our defense and intelligence systems.
            This lecture will begin by explaining what this biological vision processing is and how it works, to the best knowledge of our current science. Sensing, image processing and formation, and finally pattern recognition will be covered. This will be compared to various implementations of computer vision and then there will be some models, discussion, and ideas on how we can further implement these concepts from nature into our systems.
