Figure 3. Generating model samples using ICA.

Figure 3

A. A set of 64 Inline graphic pixel natural image patches, Inline graphic. B. The coefficients of the first two (non-DC) ICA components are plotted against each other for all 64 patches along with their marginal distributions. C. Histogram of the 64 patches' norms in the ICA basis. D. To apply the ICA independence assumption to Inline graphic, we shuffle the ICA coefficients across samples separately for each component. Shown are the resulting matched model patches, Inline graphic. E. The coefficients of the first two (non-DC) ICA components of Inline graphic. The marginal distributions are the same as those of Inline graphic shown in B. F. Histogram of the coefficient norms of the 64 patches in Inline graphic. Applying the ICA assumption has changed the radial distribution so that the variance is much lower than that of the original distribution shown in C.
