...This is similar to the selection criterion proposed by Marr and Hildreth [18] for choosing between different Laplacian of Gaussian channels....
[...]
...In fact, a one-dimensional Marr-Hildreth edge detector is almost identical with the operator we have derived because maxima in the output of a first derivative operator will correspond to zero-crossings in the Laplacian operator as used by Marr and Hildreth....
[...]
...The effect of the window function becomes very marked for large operator sizes and it is probably the biggest single reason why operators with large support were not practical until the work of Marr and Hildreth on the Laplacian of Gaussian....
[...]
...Directional operators very much like the ones we have derived were suggested by Marr [17], but were discarded in favor of the Laplacian of Gaussian [18]....
[...]
...The Marr-Hildreth operator does not use any form of thresholding, but an adaptive thresholding scheme can be used to advantage with our first derivative operator....

...The first primitive description of the image was called the primal sketch (Marr 1976b) and it is formed in two parts....
[...]
...The model does, however, make explicit certain nonlinear features that we regard as critical, and it forms the starting point for the more complete proposal of Marr & A major difficulty with natural images is that changes can and do occur over a wide range of scales (Marr 1976a, b)....

...Following Marr (1976b), the closed contours we call BLOBS, and assign to them a length, width, orientation and (average) contrast; and the terminations are assigned a position and orientation (see figure 7c)....

...…idea is that if a simple cell truly signals either the positive or the negative part of the linear convolution of its bar-shaped receptive field with the image intensity, it can hardly be thought of as making some symbolic assertion about the presence of a bar in the image (Marr 1976~3, p. 648)....

...It is possible that the underlying discrimination of joined versus separate lines is based simply on the number of line ends, four for the separate lines and only two for the angles (cf. Julesz, 1981; Marr, 1976; Treisman & Souther, 1985)....

...Marr (1982) distinguished the goal of early vision—to form a description of the three-dimensional surfaces around us—from that of later vision—to identify or recognize objects and their settings....
