Although humans and animals perform scene analysis with apparent ease, computational scene analysis is an extremely challenging task in computational intelligence. After defining the goal of computational scene analysis, I will describe a biologically plausible approach to computational scene analysis - the oscillatory correlation approach. The LEGION (locally excitatory globally inhibitory oscillator network) model provides a computational foundation for the oscillatory correlation approach. Analytical advances on LEGION in terms of rapid synchronization and desynchronization have led to applications to scene segmentation and object selection with considerable success. I will present the results on visual and auditory scene analysis. Finally, I will discuss oscillatory correlation as a neurocomputational framework to address the scene analysis problem.
BIOGRAPHY:
DeLiang Wang received the B.S. degree in 1983 and the M.S. degree in 1986 from Peking (Beijing) University, Beijing, China, and the Ph.D. degree in 1991 from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, all in computer science. Since 1991, he has been with the Department of Computer Science & Engineering and the Center for Cognitive Science at The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, where he is currently a Professor. From October 1998 to September 1999, he was a visiting scholar in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. Dr. Wang's research interests include machine perception and neurodynamics. He currently serves as the President of the International Neural Network Society. He is an IEEE Fellow, and a recipient of the 1996 U.S. Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award.
