Summary: This work presents a novel method to reconstruct colored images using the dynamic vision sensor (DVS). Two high-quality reconstruction algorithms are proposed based on the analysis of DVS response, achieving colored image reconstruction without spatial resolution degradation. The algorithm is robust to environmental changes and demonstrates state-of-the-art results when compared to previous works.

Summary: We developed a model for the initial visual encoding of natural images based on Bayesian image reconstruction. This model takes into account the statistical regularities of the visual environment and provides a unifying framework for studying various questions regarding the visual front end. Our analysis of the model's reconstructions allowed us to study the optimal design of the number of photoreceptor types on the human retina and visualize and quantify information loss. The reconstructed images also proved to be a reasonable proxy for modeling subjects' percepts in color deficiencies and interferometric experiments.

Summary: The paper proposes a single maritime image defogging algorithm based on illumination decomposition, effectively removing fog components and recovering natural illumination. Experimental results demonstrate its superiority over state-of-the-art algorithms in both subjective and objective evaluation criteria.

Summary: The perception of color is a complex problem studied in various fields such as neurophysiology, psycho-physiology, psycholinguistics, and philosophy. Primates, including humans, have three types of opsin proteins in their eyes, allowing for color sensing. The neural coding of color stimuli changes from three types of sensor proteins to two opponent channels in the retina, and the perception of color is believed to emerge from the activity of specific neuron ensembles. This article proposes a hypothesis on how the perception of color can be encoded in the neocortex and suggests that future studies in non-human primates will provide a more detailed understanding of conceptual color neurons.

Summary: The study compared the empirical and metacognized capacities of Red-Green dichromats in discriminating basic color categories and using corresponding basic color terms. It was found that the dichromats demonstrated accurate metacognition about their capacities and limitations in using BCTs. Their difficulties mainly focused on Brown-Green and Blue-Purple pairs, while they did not show substantial difficulty in discriminating the Red-Green pair.

Summary: Mixed-effects models are commonly used in psychological research to study individual differences. This paper proposes a spike-and-slab prior distribution for random effect selection in these models, allowing researchers to gain a more nuanced perspective on individual differences. The method captures individuals who deviate from population-averaged values, and has been shown to accurately classify individuals without bias in model estimates. The flexibility and utility of the method are demonstrated through examples and simulation studies.

Summary: Visual individual recognition requires animals to distinguish among conspecifics based on appearance. Color plays an important role in the facial recognition system of northern paper wasp females, as grayscale versions of faces cannot be recognized as faces.

Summary: There are individual differences in color perception, primarily influenced by genetically mediated cone photopigments and visual environments. These differences not only enhance the understanding of color vision, but also serve as methodological tools for exploring perceptual mechanisms.

Summary: In the past decade, deep learning approaches have revolutionized the field of Computer Vision, particularly in Industry 4.0 applications such as automatic defect classification. However, additional data beyond the image/video itself is typically not utilized in defect classification modules, representing a missed opportunity given the abundance of data in data-intensive manufacturing environments. This work presents a case study related to Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images where a Bayesian approach is employed to improve defect classification, validated using modern deep learning architectures for classification.

Summary: While the sample sizes in elite sports are small, the effects are also small. Bayesian analysis can supplement scarce data by incorporating pre-existing knowledge. In a study on soccer players, cold-water immersion was found to improve sprint recovery. Different analytical methods may have varying effects on individual results.

Summary: Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a widespread anthropogenic pollutant that can be managed by modifying its spectral composition, but the diverse photosensitivity across taxa and varied responses to ALAN make it a challenging pollutant to control and predict ecological outcomes.
