In this paper, we describe a nonlinear image representation based on divisive normalization that is designed to match the statistical properties of photographic images, as well as...
Divisive normalization has been recognized as a successful approach to model the perceptual sensitivity of biological vision. It also provides a useful image representation that i...
Bandpass filtering, orientation selectivity, and contrast gain control are prominent features of sensory coding at the level of V1 simple cells. While the effect of bandpass filte...
Gain control by divisive inhibition, a.k.a. divisive normalization, has been proposed to be a general mechanism throughout the visual cortex. We explore in this study the statisti...
Meshing is a popular technology for feature extraction in handwritten Chinese character recognition. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical overlapped elastic meshing (HOEM), wh...
