Abstract
The authors present an approach to feature detection, which is a fundamental issue in many intermediate-level vision problems such as stereo, motion correspondence, image registration, etc. The approach is based on a scale-interaction model of the end-inhibition property exhibited by certain cells in the visual- cortex of mammals. These feature detector cells are responsive to short lines, line endings, corners and other such sharp changes in curvature. In addition, this method also provides a compact representation of feature information which is useful in shape recognition problems. Application to face recognition and motion correspondence are illustrated.Keywords
