Abstract

In this paper, we describe a biological motivated image representation in terms of local multi–modal primitives. These primitives are functional abstractions of hypercolumns in V1 [13]. The efficient and generic coding of visual information in terms of local symbolic descriptiones allows for a wide range of applications. For example, they have been used to investigate the multi–modal character of Gestalt laws in natural scenes [14], to code a multi–modal stereo matching and to investigate the role of different visual modalities for stereo [11], and to use a combination of stereo and grouping as well as Rigid Body Motion to acquire reliable 3D information as demonstrated in this publication.
