Before revision:  Specifically, these two-stage perceptual systems first foveate an image , inducing a texture-like encoding of peripheral information, which is then inputted to a convolutional neural network (CNN)and trained to perform scene categorization   .
After revision:  Specifically, these two-stage perceptual systems first foveate an image , inducing a texture-like encoding of peripheral information, which is then inputted to a convolutional neural network (CNN)and trained to perform scene categorization convolutional neural network, and we varied the first stage component. The primary model has a foveated-textural input stage, which we compare to a model with foveated-blurred input and a model with spatially-uniform blurred input (both matched for perceptual compression), and a final reference model with minimal input-based compression .
