My research is in computational vision, in particular how to combine bottom-up processing, such as image segmentation with top-down information, such as recognition of familiar shapes. I'm interested in how measuring the predictive power of different visual cues can provide general information-theoretic constraints on human visual processing. I also work on developing tools for biological image analysis in order to measure morphology and spatial patterns of gene expression in developing animals. |
