Developing a Modified HMAX Model Based on Combined with the Visual Featured Model

Abstract

<p>Identify objects based on modeling the human visual system, as an effective method in intelligent identification, has attracted the attention of many researchers. Although the machines have high computational speed but are very weak as compared to humans in terms of diagnosis. Experience has shown that in many areas of image processing, algorithms that have biological backing had more simplicity and better performance. The human visual system, first select the main parts of the image which is provided by the visual featured model, then pays to object recognition which is a hierarchical operations according to this, HMAX model is also provided. HMAX object recognition model from the group of hierarchical models without feedback that its structure and parameters selected based on biological characteristics of the visual cortex. This model is a hierarchical model neural network with four layers, is composed of alternating layers that are simple and complex. Due to the high complexity of the human visual system is virtually impossible to replicate it. For each of the above, separate models have been proposed but in the human visual system, this operation is performed seamlessly, thus, by combining the principles of these models is expected to be closer to the human visual system and obtain a higher recognition rate. In this paper, we introduce an architecture to classify images based on a combination of previous work is based on the basic operation of the visual cortex. According to the results presented, the proposed model compared with the main HMAX model has a much higher recognition rate. Simulations was performed on the database of Caltech101.</p>

Object Recognition Inspiring HVS

“…In [34,35] saliency map are affected by the properties of the object. Pourasad [24] proposed a Modified HMAX model based on combined with the visual featured model for HMAX (henceforth referred to as MHMAX) by calculating optimum patches based on their information. Ghodrati et al [25] found the better patches for HMAX by using genetic algorithm (henceforth referred to as GMAX).…”
