Abstract: Although maybe not reflected in the thesis, I must admit that I spent lots of energy chasing bad ideas, producing half-completed experiments, and writing unpublishable manuscripts. Such is perhaps the reality of every thesis, but still I love doing what I have been doing, unable to resist the thrill of new ideas and findings. Looking back, I have learned to think for myself, take steps backward, and design informative experiments. For all these and others, I thank my primary advisor Sheng He and committee members Dan Kersten, Steve Engel, and Bin He. I also benefited from discussions with people in the vision labs, especially Peng Zhang and Min Bao. Finally I thank my wife Lifang for making my life better and reminding me of the fun in living. Thanks to the University of Minnesota for financial support.
