Revisiting Algorithmic Lateral Inhibition and Accumulative Computation

Modelling the Stereovision-Correspondence-Analysis task by Lateral Inhibition in Accumulative Computation problem-solving method

Recently, the Algorithmic Lateral Inhibition (ALI) method and the Accumulative Computation (AC) method have proven to be efficient in modelling at the knowledge level for general-motion-detection tasks in video sequences. More precisely, the task of persistent motion detection has been widely expressed by means of the AC method, whereas the ALI method has been used with the objective of moving ...

A historical perspective of algorithmic lateral inhibition and accumulative computation in computer vision

Certainly, one of the prominent ideas of Professor José Mira was that it is absolutelymandatory to specify the mechanisms and/or processes underlying each task and inference mentioned in an architecture in order to make operational that architecture. The conjecture of the last fifteen years of joint research has been that any bottom-up organizationmay bemade operational using two biologically i...

Lateral Inhibition in Accumulative Computation and Fuzzy Sets for Human Fall Pattern Recognition in Colour and Infrared Imagery

Fall detection is an emergent problem in pattern recognition. In this paper, a novel approach which enables to identify a type of a fall and reconstruct its characteristics is presented. The features detected include the position previous to a fall, the direction and velocity of a fall, and the postfall inactivity. Video sequences containing a possible fall are analysed image by image using the...

Real-time motion detection by lateral inhibition in accumulative computation

Lateral interaction in accumulative computation: a model for motion detection

Some of the major computer vision techniques make use of neural nets. In this paper we present a novel model based on neural networks denominated lateral interaction in accumulative computation (LIAC). This model is based on a series of neuronal models in one layer, namely the local accumulative computation model, the double time scale model and the recurrent lateral interaction model. The LIAC...
