1. Simulating Receptive Fields (tutorial) using MATLAB

Write a simulation of cells, that process the image by receptive fields. Write a simulation of several receptive fields. The maps consist of RF of widths 2,4,8,16 ( length is 3 times the width), in the 4 main orientations. The RF should be even and odd. The RF have 50% overlap. Use the "mandrill" and "gatlin" images from the matlab imdemo screen (or any other images you like) as inputs. The output should be the intensity maps representing the response of the receptive fields.

2. Estimating Disparity using MATLAB

Write a simulation of the disparity estimation algorithm. The algorithm should run on a left/right stereo pair, after passing the RF maps of (1). You can use either cross correlation or Cepstrum. Show how window size effects performance. Create your own input image pair by creating an RDS of size at least 128X128.
