Contour Detection with the Push Pull CORF model
Contour detection with the Push-Pull CORF model of simple cells in visual cortex. A CORF (Combination Of Receptive Fields) model, which was originally proposed in [1], uses as afferent inputs the responses of model LGN cells with appropriately aligned center-surround receptive fields, and combines their output with a weighted geometric mean. The output of the Push-Pull CORF model simple cell is computed as the response of a CORF model cell that is selective for a stimulus with preferred orientation and preferred contrast minus a fraction of the response of a CORF model cell that responds to the same stimulus but of opposite contrast. The novel push-pull CORF model improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and achieves further properties that are observed in real simple cells, namely separability of spatial frequency and orientation as well as contrast-dependent changes in spatial frequency tuning.
