The salient components of visual scenes are objects. While our visual system identifies visual objects with apparent ease, this task, in general, is still considered as one of the major unsolved problems in computer vision. In the development of component extraction algorithms specific for visual data, we address the problem of autonomous object learning. In my group and together with our collaborators we develop generative approaches incorporating explicit object occlusions and models that consider object invariances. The models are developed for challenging settings of cluttered scenes. Using probabilistic and neuro-dynamic approaches we develop applications to autonomous pattern learning and visual pattern recognition. To accomplish these tasks, our algorithms are combined with established procedures and can be combined with segmentation or methods for motion field extraction, and they are trained using grounded methods for the integration of discriminative and generative approaches.
