Abstract
In this paper, a bio-inspired neural network is developed to represent images and analysis features of images effectively. This model adopts schemes of retinal ganglion cells (GC) working and GCs’ non-classical receptive fields (nCRF) that can dynamically adjust their sizes/scales according to the visual information. Extensive experiments are provided to value the effect of image representing, and experimental results show that this neural network model can represent images at a low cost and with a favor in improving both segmentation and integration processing. Most importantly, the GC-array model provides a basic infrastructure for image semantic extraction.
