We conduct parallel research in vision research: On one hand (I.) psychophysically, functional fMRI and computational aspects on several topics such as adaptation of different visual properties, induction, completion of lines (Kanizsa illusion). On the other hand (II.) developing generic algorithms which are yielded from the above computational models and in addition developing specific medical applications of these algorithms for medical images. It occurs also that the computational models yield ideas for new experimental studies and to discovery of new visual effects (such as chromatic Mach bands and specific spatial properties of adaptation effects).
Vision Research
Visual adaptation
Conflicting mechanisms:
Chromatic Mach bands
Lateral facillitation
Induction of first and second orders
Kanizsa
Filling-in mechanism due to spatial and temporal edges
Image Processing
Medical image (still/video) processing
(CT, Mammography, Breast Thermography, Ultrasound, Endoscopy etc.)
