1 Natural Scene Categorization: from Humans to Computers Li Fei-Fei Computer Science Dept. Princeton University

2 #1: natural scene categorization entails little attention (Rufin VanRullen, Pietro Perona, Christof Koch) Please type your An outdoor scene, I think. reminded me a a city... like walkingin description a park in new york or something. there seemed to be trees and a road and then this here: large skyscraper in the background. #2: what can we perceive within a glance of a scene? (Asha Iyer, Pietro #3: Bayesian graphical models for natural scene categorization and event recognition (Pietro Perona, Li-Jia Li) #4: decoding the neural representation of natural scene categories Eamon Caddigan, Dirk Walther, Diane Beck) VSS Natural Scene Symposium Li Fei-Fei

4 150 ms!! Thorpe, et al 1996

5 Treisman et al Attention binds features for recognition less attentional load more

6 Our question 1. How critical is attention in natural scene recognition? 2. How does this compare to other recognition tasks? less attentional load more

7 synthetic stimuli animals vehicle T Li et al. 2002

8 our finding less attentional load more Li et al. 2002

9 #2: what can we perceive within a glance of a scene? Reference: Fei-Fei et al. JoV 2007 VSS Natural Scene Symposium Li Fei-Fei
