Computational Imaging and Vision Ser.: Natural Image Statistics : A Probablistic Approach to Early Computational Vision by Aapo Hyvärinen, Jarmo Hurri and Patrick O. Hoyer (2009, Hardcover)
This enables the visual system to perform efficient probabilistic inference. This book is the first comprehensive introduction to the multidisciplinary field of natural image statistics and its intention is to present a general theory of early vision and image processing in a manner that can be approached by readers from a variety of scientific backgrounds.
