Chapter 6 Volume Projection Metrics

So much for our own account of these things. But in a more fitting place we shall attempt to show by quotations from the ancients, what others have said.

—Eusebius

Overview

We postulate volume projection metrics as CAM neurons, a biologically plausible model for clusters of low-level neurons describing an object region, that take input from image regions assembled in the LGN. CAM neurons produce low-level features to feed into the visual cortex V1–Vn regions, following the Hubel and Weisel model. CAM neurons are modeled via a 3-input and 1-out neuron, which composes an output address from three inputs. The output address is referred to as a CAM feature, which enables volume projection metrics. The CAM neuron ...
