Joint maps for orientation, eye, and direction preference in a self-organizing model of V1
Primary visual cortex (V1) contains overlaid feature maps for orientation (OR), motion direction selectivity (DR), and ocular dominance (OD). Neurons in these maps are connected l...

Attention can improve a simple model for object recognition
Object recognition is one of the most important tasks of the visual cortex. Even though it has been closely studied in the field of computer vision and neuroscience, the underlyin...

Corner Detection in Color Images by Multiscale Combination of End-Stopped Cortical Cells
We present a corner-detection algorithm based on a model for end-stopping cells in the visual cortex. Shortcomings of this model are overcome by a combination over several scales. ...

Visual Cortex Frontend: Integrating Lines, Edges, Keypoints, and Disparity
Abstract. We present a 3D representation that is based on the processing in the visual cortex by simple, complex and end-stopped cells. We improved multiscale methods for line/edge...

Vergence Control of 2 DOF Pan-Tilt Binocular Cameras using a Log-Polar Representation of the Visual Cortex
- This paper presents a neurologically inspired vergence control model that uses the optimization of the disparity error between interlaced cortical maps incident on the visual cor...

Object Recognition with Features Inspired by Visual Cortex
We introduce a novel set of features for robust object recognition. Each element of this set is a complex feature obtained by combining position- and scale-tolerant edgedetectors ...

How far can you get with a modern face recognition test set using only simple features?
In recent years, large databases of natural images have become increasingly popular in the evaluation of face and object recognition algorithms. However, Pinto et al. previously ...

Eye, Brain, and Vision
"This book is mainly about the development of our ideas on how the brain handles visual information; it covers roughly the period between 1950 and 1980. Intuition tells us t...
