This is incredible! Can't help but wonder if the brain does something similar to fill up "gaps" in reality. e.g how we fill up our perception (not only vision, but general mental intuition) based on just context.
- sjg007 9y agoYes it does.
- randcraw 9y agoThat's exactly what happens when the retina is damaged. The brain fills in the void imperceptibly so you aren't distracted by the deficit. But I think biology doesn't fill in the void synthetically. It's more likely that the brain "turns a blind eye" toward the missing 'pixels' and directs your attention elsewhere, perhaps to those remaining regions with high saliency (useful detail).
- rasz 9y agoNot exactly. Brain has prior knowledge (deep learning). Lets take a picture of a car as an example. License plate has letters/numbers, so even if it cuts lower half you will try to guess by fitting the most likely symbol combinations. Approach from the article has no prior knowledge, wouldnt be able to inpaint meaningful letters, nor guess most cars have wheels, bumpers, drive on the road etc.
