Early Visual Processing for Pattern Recognition in Natural Environments

摘要

In this article, the performance of hierarchical architectures for computer vision of biological inspiration is analyzed. In particular, the role of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) for the robustness in the recognition of ring shaped patterns under gradual changes in illumination was analyzed. Changes in illumination are common in everyday environments and thus, it is a crucial factor to be considered for the recognition of objects in everyday environments.
