Breakout Session Report: Learning and Perceptual Organization
It is widely recognized that visual experience plays an important role in the development of visual capabilities in higher animals. It is also the experience of builders of machine vision systems that programming vision is hard and it would be nice for systems to do some of the work automatically through training. Learning is thus an important area of study for computational vision from both the biological and computer vision perspectives. The purpose of this breakout session was to explore issues related to the role of learning at the Perceptual Organization stages of vision.
