Building the gist of a scene: The role of global image features in recognition

A Oliva, A Torralba - Progress in brain research, 2006 - Elsevier
Humans can recognize the gist of a novel image in a single glance, independent of its
complexity. How is this remarkable feat accomplished? On the basis of behavioral and …

The role of context in object recognition

A Oliva, A Torralba - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2007 - cell.com
