Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with the study of the biological vision system and the emulation of some of its mathematical functions, in both the retinal and visual cortex, for the development of a robust computer vision system. This field of research is not only intriguing, but offers a great challenge to systems scientists in the development of functional algorithms. These functional algorithms can be generalized for further studies for fields such as signal processing, control systems and image processing. Our studies are heavily dependent on the use of neuronal layers and the generalized receptive fields. Building blocks of such neuronal layers and receptive fields may lead to the design of better sensors and better computer vision systems. It is hoped that these studies will lead to the development of better artificial vision systems with applications to vision prosthesis for visually impaired persons, robotic vision, medical imaging, medical sensors, industrial automation, remote sensing, space stations and ocean exploration.
