Implementation of Visual Routines: A Sequential Modeling of Visual Cognition
This research will attempt to model human visual cognition as sequential assembly of perceptual primitives, and build a real-time computer vision system that can simulate basic human visual behaviors.

A major psychological background is the theory of visual routines, which hypothesize that there exists in the brain a collection of built-in programs, which are coded with a fixed set of basic visual primitives and can be reprogrammed to carry out various visual tasks. I will modify this theory and make it biologically plausible and computationally applicable.
