Title
Biologically Inspired Edge Detection using Spiking Neural Networks and Hexagonal Images.
Abstract
Inspired by the structure and behaviour of the human visual system, we extend existing work using spiking neural networks for edge detection with a biologically plausible hexagonal pixel arrangement. Standard digital images are converted into a hexagonal pixel representation before being processed with a spiking neural network with scalable hexagonally shaped receptive fields. The performance is compared with different sized receptive fields implemented on standard rectangular images. Results illustrate that using hexagonal-shaped receptive fields provides improved performance over a range of scales compared with standard rectangular shaped receptive fields and images.
