چکیده

We propose a new hierarchical architecture for visual pattern classification. The new architecture consists of a set of fixed, directional filters and a set of adaptive filters arranged in a cascade structure. The fixed filters are used to extract primitive features such as orientations and edges that are present in a wide range of objects, whereas the adaptive filters can be trained to find complex features that are specific to a given object. Both types of filter are based on the biological mechanism of shunting inhibition. The proposed architecture is applied to two problems: pedestrian detection and car detection. Evaluation results on benchmark data sets demonstrate that the proposed architecture outperforms several existing ones.

An Adaptive Hierarchical Method Based on Wavelet and Adaptive Filtering for MRI Denoising

MRI is one of the most powerful techniques to study the internal structure of the body. MRI image quality is affected by various noises. Noises in MRI are usually thermal and mainly due to the motion of charged particles in the coil. Noise in MRI images also cause a limitation in the study of visual images as well as computer analysis of the images. In this paper, first, it is proved that proba...

A hierarchical model for syllable recognition

Abstract. Inspired by recent findings on the similarities between the primary auditory and visual cortex we propose a neural network for speech recognition based on a hierarchical feedforward architecture for visual object recognition. When using a Gammatone filterbank for the spectral analysis the resulting spectrograms of syllables can be interpreted as images. After a preprocessing enhancing...

Cooperative Growing Hierarchical Recurrent Self Organizing Model for Phoneme Recognition

Among the large number of research publications discussing the SOM (Self-Organizing Map) [1, 2, 18, 19] different variants and extensions have been introduced. One of the SOM based models is the Growing Hierarchical Self-Organizing Map (GHSOM) [3-6]. The GHSOM is a neural architecture combining the advantages of two principal extensions of the self-organizing map, dynamic growth and hierarchica...

Deep Neural Networks predict Hierarchical Spatio-temporal Cortical Dynamics of Human Visual Object Recognition

The complex multi-stage architecture of cortical visual pathways provides the neural basis for efficient visual object recognition in humans. However, the stage-wise computations therein remain poorly understood. Here, we compared temporal (magnetoencephalography) and spatial (functional MRI) visual brain representations with representations in an artificial deep neural network (DNN) tuned to t...

The adaptation of visual arts and architecture to with AN attitude toward Emmanuel Levinas’s Face- To- Face philosophy

One of problems of today’s society is the fact that the artist is away from the profession of other arts and various social groups, as well as disregard of art and artist by the above groups and the consequent weakness of art in the community. The importance of establishing social interactions and Face- To- Face of different social groups with the arts and artists, as well as artist with other ...
