Contour Saliency in Primary Visual Cortex
Contour integration is an important intermediate stage of object recognition, in which line segments belonging to an object boundary are perceptually linked and segmented from complex backgrounds. Contextual influences observed in primary visual cortex (V1) suggest the involvement of V1 in contour integration. Here, we provide direct evidence that, in monkeys performing a contour detection task...
متن کاملA saliency map in primary visual cortex.
I propose that pre-attentive computational mechanisms in primary visual cortex create a saliency map. This map awards higher responses to more salient image locations; these responses are those of conventional V1 cells tuned to input features, such as orientation and color. Hence no separate feature maps, or any subsequent combination of them, is needed to create a saliency map. I use a model t...
متن کاملSuperior colliculus encodes visual saliency before the primary visual cortex.
Models of visual attention postulate the existence of a bottom-up saliency map that is formed early in the visual processing stream. Although studies have reported evidence of a saliency map in various cortical brain areas, determining the contribution of phylogenetically older pathways is crucial to understanding its origin. Here, we compared saliency coding from neurons in two early gateways ...
متن کاملThe primary visual cortex creates a bottom-up saliency map
It has been proposed that the primary visual cortex (V1) creates a saliency map using autonomous intra-cortical mechanisms. This saliency of a visual location describes the location’s ability to attract attention without top-down factors. It increases monotonously with the firing rate of the most active V1 cell responding to that location. Given the prevalent feature selectivities of V1 cells (...
متن کاملA recurrent model of contour integration in primary visual cortex.
Physiological and psychophysical studies have demonstrated the importance of colinearity in visual processing. Motivated by these empirical findings we present a novel computational model of recurrent long-range processing in the primary visual cortex. Unlike other models we restrict the long-range interaction to cells of parallel orientation with colinear aligned receptive fields. We also empl...
