Dynamic Pursuit with a Bio-inspired Neural Model

Abstract. In this paper we present a bio-inspired connectionist model for visual perception of motion and its pursuit. It is organized in three stages: a causal spatio-temporal filtering of Gabor-like type, an antagonist inhibition mechanism and a densely interconnected neural population. These stages are inspired by the treatment of the primary visual cortex, middle temporal area and superior visual areas. This model has been evaluated on natural image sequences.
