Abstract | The information processing mechanism of a visual system captures the real contours of an object through multi-hierarchical processing and integration of the basic features (color, grayscale, etc.) of the image. In more complex situations, a reasonable and effective framework is often required to solve the high-precision problem of contour detection. In this paper, we propose a contour detection model inspired by the biological characteristics of multiple visual channels and multi-hierarchical visual information. In our model, we mainly include information processing channels for color and luminance. The color channel response is obtained by color-sensitive neurons of the primary visual cortex (V1) processing the single-opponent response of the retinal/lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) layer, and the luminance channel response is selected by the linear X cell response and the nonlinear Y cell response, based on the luminance contrast. The texture suppression of the color and luminance channel responses is enhanced by introducing a sparse coding mechanism. Finally, the fusion weights of the color and luminance channel response energies are calculated using the optimal direction to obtain better detection performance. The experimental results show that our model performs well in complex situations in comparison to current advanced biologically inspired model and some machine learning-based models, further improving the robustness of the non-learning contour detection model. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
