Title
A computational model of monkey grating cells for oriented repetitive alternating patterns
Abstract
In 1992 neurophysiologists (5) found an new type of cells in areas V1 and V2 of the monkey primary visual cortex,which they called grating cells. These cells respond vigorously to a grating pattern of ap- propriate orientation and periodicity. A few years later a computational model inspired by these findings was published (3). The study of this paper is to model a grating cell operator that responds in a very simi- lar way as these grating cells do. Three different databases containing a total of 338 real world images of textures were applied to the operator. Based on these images,our findings were that grating cells respond best to repetitive alternating patterns of a specific orientation. These patterns are mostly human made structures,like buildings,fabrics,and tiles.
