We develop anomaly detectors, ie, detectors that do not presuppose a signature model of
one or more dimensions, for three clutter models: the local normal model, the global normal …

Human visual speed perception is qualitatively consistent with a Bayesian observer that
optimally combines noisy measurements with a prior preference for lower speeds. Quantitative …

Bayesian observer models provide a principled account of the fact that our perception of the
world rarely matches physical reality. The standard explanation is that our percepts are …

The term visual adaptation describes the processes by which the visual system alters its
operating properties in response to changes in the environment. These continual adjustments in …

Hyperspectral remote sensing provides information related to surface material characteristics
that can be exploited to perform automated detection of targets of interest and has been …

We extend a previously developed Bayesian framework for perception to account for sensory
adaptation. We first note that the perceptual effects of adaptation seems inconsistent with …

Perception of a stimulus can be characterized by two fundamental psychophysical measures:
how well the stimulus can be discriminated from similar ones (discrimination threshold) …

… Yu and AD Stocker are with the Space Computer Corporation, Santa Monica, CA 90404. …
Alan D. Stocker received the BSEE degree from the University of Virginia in 1979 and the …

Neural activity and perception are both affected by sensory history. The work presented
here explores the relationship between the physiological effects of adaptation and their …

We propose an extended probabilistic model for human perception. We argue that in many
circumstances, human observers simultaneously evaluate sensory evidence under different …
