The stucco-like surface on the right looks darker and glossier than the one on the left even though the mean luminance of both images is equal. The luminance histogram of the image on the right is positively skewed and the one on the left is negatively skewed.

Larger-scale folds develop the fastest in premature (born more than seven weeks early) infants (top), while medium-scale folds develop the fastest in older premature infants, born between seven and two weeks early (middle). In older infants and children, fine folds develop the most quickly across the brain surface (bottom).

An MIT model for object recognition takes as input the unlabeled images of digital photographs from the street scene database (top) and generates automatic annotations (bottom row). The orange bounding boxes are for pedestrians ("ped") and cars ("car"). The system would have also detected bicycles if present. For sky, buildings, trees and road, the system uses color coding (blue, brown, green and ...
