报告摘要：

Human visual systems employ eye fixations, foveal vision, stereo, etc., to organize, identify, and interpret visual sensory information. It plays a critical role in helping us humans to represent and understand the 3D environment we live in. In this talk, I show that theories based on human vision have been deployed in art creation, psychophysics, and for AI researchers, camera designs in machine vision. For example, the lens, aperture, and sensor used in a camera resemble the cornea, pupil, and retina, respectively. At the same time, I demonstrate that machine vision and human vision exhibit significant discrepancies in mechanism and results, contrary to the traditional view that they are nearly identical. Such discrepancies can potentially benefit, by nature or by design, various visual computing tasks. More importantly, they are critical in assessing whether “AI” algorithms will have human-level visual intelligence in the foreseeable future.
