The delta game: a crowd-source approach to delta classification

Antoinette Abeyta, Sarah Baumgardner, Danny Im, Charles

Nguyen, Chris Paola

•Galloway’s classification divides deltas by dominant process

•Currently, this classification system is qualitative

•Interpretations not observations!

Current classification systems

Is there a better way to classify deltas?

• Necessary for survival• Recognizing friends and foes• Recognizing potential dangers• Increases predictable behavior• Avoid repetition of costly mistakes• Minimum of a few hundred neurons

Pattern recognition

Human vision

• Object recognition 30 minutes• Early as 7-8 days old• Coarse to fine analysis• Quickly processes images on

multiple scales• Understand commonplace

transformation

Early development of pattern recognition

• Highly constrained systems • Distractor patterns• Common transformations• Need more complex analysis

than pixel value
