    "title": "Can the High-Level Semantics of a Scene be Preserved in the Low-Level Visual\nFeatures of that Scene? A Study of Disorder and Naturalness",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Real-world scenes contain low-level visual features (e.g.,\nedges, colors) and high-level semantic features (e.g., objects\nand places). Traditional visual perception models assume that\nintegration of low-level visual features and segmentation of the\nscene must occur before high-level semantics are perceived.\nThis view implies that low-level visual features of a scene\nalone do not carry semantic information related to that scene.\nHere we present evidence that suggests otherwise. We show\nthat high-level semantics can be preserved in low-level visual\nfeatures, and that different high-level semantics can be\npreserved in different types of low-level visual features.\nSpecifically, the ‘disorder’ of a scene is preserved in edge\nfeatures better than color features, whereas the converse is true\nfor ‘naturalness.’ These findings suggest that semantic\nprocessing may start earlier than thought before, and\nintegration of low-level visual features and segmentation of the\nscene may occur after semantic processing has begun, or in\nparallel.",
