Scale Space - Biological Vision

Biological Vision

There are interesting relations between scale-space representation and biological vision. Neurophysiological studies have shown that there are receptive field profiles in the mammalian retina and visual cortex, which can be well modelled by linear Gaussian derivative operators, in some cases also complemented by a non-isotropic affine scale-space model and/or non-linear combinations of such linear operators.

Famous quotes containing the words biological and/or vision:

    “No poetic phantasy
    but a biological reality,
    a fact: I am an entity
    like bird, insect, plant
    or sea-plant cell;
    I live; I am alive.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “I had a vision of them put together
    Not like a man, but like a chandelier.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
