A Model of Human Binocular Perception Based on the Ocular Dominance Columnar Organization

[[abstract]]In this thesis, a binocular perception model in the low level vision processes was constructed based on physiology. A hypothesis about the operations of binocular selective neurons in the ocular dominance columns was provided. The outputs of this model were obeyed the laws of visual direction in psychology. There were two stages in the proposed model. The first stage was the disparity generating stage. Three types of information - disparities, dominant frequencies, and energies - were generated. The second stage was the binocular image generating stage which received the outputs of the first stage. The hypothesis about the relationships between the neurons was provided in this stage and was performed by a binocular opponent mechanism. The attention selectivity was used to choosing the retinal image in the image formating step. The outputs of this stage were used to present the binocular perception. Five experiments demonstrated by Well (1792) and Ono (1976,1986) were redone using the proposed model by computer simulations. The results of computer simulations were consistent with the human perception.[[fileno]]2030148030053[[department]]電機工程學
