The broad region outside the classical receptive field (CRF) of a neuron in the primary visual
cortex (V1), namely non-CRF (nCRF), exerts robust modulatory effects on the responses to …

The broad region outside the classical receptive field (CRF) of a vision neuron, known as the
non-classical receptive field (nCRF), exerts a robust modulatory effect on the responses to …

Physiological studies show that the response of classical receptive field (CRF) to visual
stimulus could be suppressed by non-classical receptive field (NCRF) inhibition of the …

To effectively perform visual tasks like detecting contours, the visual system normally needs
to integrate multiple visual features. Sufficient physiological studies have revealed that for a …

The goal of this work is to present a computational model for contour detection, based on the
surround suppression mechanisms of the primary visual cortex, in which the strength of …

A contour detection model, inspired by the behavior of the primary visual cortex, is
presented. The response of a central stimulus in the receptive field is affected by the …

Contour detection is a salient operation in many computer vision applications as it extracts
features that are important for distinguishing objects in scenes. It is believed to be a primary …

We propose a biologically motivated method, called nonclassical receptive field (non-CRF)
inhibition (more generally, surround inhibition or suppression), to improve contour detection …

This work develops a biologically inspired neural network for contour detection in natural
images by combining the nonclassical receptive field modulation mechanism with a deep …

A new model of contour extraction and perceptual grouping in the primary visual cortex is
presented and discussed. It differs from previous models since it incorporates four main …
