00001 /** \dir src/Channels 00002 00003 \brief Visual processing channels for the VisualCortex 00004 00005 This directory contains class definitions for visual processing 00006 channels, typically to be used in a VisualCortex object (see 00007 src/Neuro/VisualCortex.H). A channel is a visual processing entity 00008 that takes a visual input image in, and computes a number of 00009 visual feature maps tuned to various properties of the input 00010 image, including various colors, orientations, or motions. 00011 00012 The base class is described in ChannelBase.H, and defines the 00013 overall interface for all channels. It is specialized into a 00014 single channel class which processes the input image along one 00015 specific feature dimention (see SingleChannel.H), and a complex 00016 channel which holds a collection of single or complex channels for 00017 various feature dimensions (see ComplexChannel.H). All other 00018 channels are concrete derivations of either SingleChannel or 00019 ComplexChannel for various visual feature dimensions. 00020 00021 for dependency graphs: 00022 rankdir: RL 00023 */ 00024 00025 // $HeadURL: svn://isvn.usc.edu/software/invt/trunk/saliency/src/Channels/README.dxy $ 00026 // $Id: README.dxy 5749 2005-10-19 08:15:48Z itti $ 00027 00028 // //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // 00029 // The iLab Neuromorphic Vision C++ Toolkit - Copyright (C) 2001 by the // 00030 // University of Southern California (USC) and the iLab at USC. // 00031 // See http://iLab.usc.edu for information about this project. // 00032 // //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // 00033 // Major portions of the iLab Neuromorphic Vision Toolkit are protected // 00034 // under the U.S. patent ``Computation of Intrinsic Perceptual Saliency // 00035 // in Visual Environments, and Applications'' by Christof Koch and // 00036 // Laurent Itti, California Institute of Technology, 2001 (patent // 00037 // pending; application number 09/912,225 filed July 23, 2001; see // 00038 // http://pair.uspto.gov/cgi-bin/final/home.pl for current status). // 00039 // //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // 00040 // This file is part of the iLab Neuromorphic Vision C++ Toolkit. // 00041 // // 00042 // The iLab Neuromorphic Vision C++ Toolkit is free software; you can // 00043 // redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General // 00044 // Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either // 00045 // version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. // 00046 // // 00047 // The iLab Neuromorphic Vision C++ Toolkit is distributed in the hope // 00048 // that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the // 00049 // implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR // 00050 // PURPOSE.
