摘要
To extract the image edge information effectively, a new method of image edge detection based on spike time dependent plasticity (STDP) and other visual mechanism was proposed. Firstly, the color opponent-process characteristic was realized by image intensity and chromaticity coding mechanism. Secondly, Log-Gabor filter was adopted to realize the orientation selectivity of visual system. Then, a neuronal population network with the characteristic of STDP was proposed, which used the relevance of the asynchronous pulse spiking between neurons and visual contour to strengthen the edge information. Finally, spiking times were recorded for the first spiking time decoding to obtain the edge information. Taking the micrograph for example, the result shows the new method is effective in extracting edge information distinctly and completely and can retain more small details, which proposes a new way for synaptic plasticity to be applied into image processing. ©, 2015, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
