Vision Research lab – 
Vision research laboratory interests in recent years have concentrated mainly on computational visual models, psychophysical experiments, and derived algorithms: chromatic and achromatic adaptation mechanisms such as companding (compression and expanding) HDR natural and medical images. visual texture detection, lateral facilitation (line and texture completions) and enhancement, segmentation based on visual mechanisms and contour phenomena, chromatic aberration, shape from motion only, after-effect phenomena, and “conflicting” filling-in effect derived from edges. In recent years: saccadic suppression mechanisms and their application in novel algorithms for ego-motion vs. objects motion, motion directions, and tracking.
