His neural network was the first to use cooperation and competition to solve the stereo matching problem of binocular fusion

Who is David Marr?

200

30,000 of these help you understand me right now

What are the cochlear ganglion cells?

200

Her PhD work on neuromorphic stereo vision won her Caltech’s best PhD award.

Who is Misha Mahowald?

200

Pixels in in silicon eyes have about 20-40 of these

What are transistors?

200

Computer vision papers claimed event cameras don’t have this, but they do

What is motion blur?

300

He or she popularized and formalized for computer vision the observation from 3D viewers of DVS output that lining up DVS events in space time reveals the flow that created them.

Who is Guillermo Gallego?

300

3mW is the estimated power consumption of this human perceptual organ

What is the human retina?

300

This handcrafted method can nicely fuse frames and events at very low computational cost

What is the Complementary Filter (developed by Cedric Schneerlinck and Rob Mahony in Canberra)

300

It was claimed in many computer vision papers that these devices have microsecond latency but the real world latency is more like sub-millisecond

What are DVS event cameras?

300

It is the Maximum signal/Noise

What is the definition of dynamic range?

400

His random dot stereograms revolutionized understanding of binocular vision.

Who is Bela Julesz?

400

140dB is the dynamic range of this human sense

What is hearing?

400

Her work can extract interaural time difference from silicon cochlea spikes in the presence of reverberation

Who is Shih-Chii Liu?

500

700us is the maximum of this time

What is the interaural time delay of human hearing?

500

The effect named this caused by putting a darkening sunglass lens over one eye makes a swinging pendulum to appear to rotate in space rather than swing in a line
