Document Summary
Bayesian approach to information processing- a statistical model based on. Revered thomas bayes" insight that prior knowledge could influence our estimates of the probability of a current event. Ideal observer- theoretical observer with complete access to the best available info and the ability to combine different sources of info in the optical manner. Our visual system take into account depth cues when interpreting the size of objects- the most likely interpretations determine our perceptions. Euclidian geometry- parallel lines remain parallel as they are extended in space. Euclidean geometry of the 3-d world turns into 2d in retina. Binocular summation- combination of signals from each eye in ways that make performance on many tasks better with both eyes than with either eye alone. The retinal image you get from each eye is different. Binocular disparity- differences between the 2 retina images of the same scene.
