In this talk, Dr Shijie Li will share his journey toward active perception—from unifying 2D vision-language understanding to structured 3D reasoning and high-level foresight.

Research shows that the “gist” of a scene (i.e., the scene name and layout) is extracted almost immediately from the blurred visual periphery, but little is known about how scene understanding evolves with viewing fixations. We studied this question using an integrated behavioural and computational approach with the aim of identifying scene metamers—scenes generated by a latent diffusion model that humans inaccurately believe were scenes they had just viewed (original scenes).
