Perceptual video coding is an advanced compression strategy that exploits the characteristics of the human visual system to reduce data rates while preserving perceived video quality. By incorporating ...

Foveated rendering is an advanced visual optimisation technique that harnesses the non-uniform acuity of the human visual system. By rendering the high-resolution foveal region in full detail while ...

"Our research shows that the human visual system has evolved to detect faint contrasts with extreme precision, which has apparently been more important than detecting individual light particles," says ...

In a development for artificial intelligence, researchers have unveiled a 28×28 synaptic device array that promises to revolutionize artificial visual systems. This innovative array, measuring a ...

The human brain can learn through experience to filter out disturbing and distracting stimuli—such as a glaring roadside billboard or a flashing banner on the internet. Scientists at Leipzig ...

When you see a bag of carrots at the grocery store, does your mind go to potatoes and parsnips or buffalo wings and celery? It depends, of course, on whether you're making a hearty winter stew or ...

Chinese researchers have made a significant leap in brain-inspired chip technology with Tianmoc. This new chip, unveiled by Tsinghua University, mimics the human visual system for superior performance ...

The top half of this image depicts the proposed artificial synapse made using dye-sensitized solar cells. The plot shows the bipolar voltage response of the synapse depending on the wavelength of ...

Despite advances in machine vision, processing visual data requires substantial computing resources and energy, limiting deployment in edge devices. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a ...

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved in ...

Scientists in Japan have developed a groundbreaking AI synapse that recognizes colors nearly as well as the human eye, promising great advances in energy-efficient visual recognition for smartphones, ...

In a working environment that is arguably the most dangerous of any current profession, image intensification and thermal imaging have extended the normal perceptual capabilities of the soldier and ...
