Abstract
This paper analyzes the parallel and serial information processing structure of visual system and proposes a visual information processing model with three layers: visual receptor layer, visual information conduction and relay layer, and information processing layer of visual information computing and processing area. Based on the analysis, abstraction, and simplification of the biological prototype of each layer in the visual system, a framework model of an artificial neural system corresponding to the visual system is proposed. An artificial neural network model is proposed to simulate the mechanism of visual attention. A network model is formed by introducing the saliency mask map as additional information on the benchmark network, and the selective enhancement operation is performed on the extracted features in different regions according to the mask map. The experimental results show that the visual computing processing network model can effectively improve the classification performance of the network when the appropriate saliency mask is used. The visual information computing and processing model network can work effectively for different data sets and different structures of the benchmark network, which is a universal network model. The complexity of visual information computing and processing model network is very small, and the improvement of network performance is not at the cost of increasing model complexity, but in the way of improving network efficiency. The performance of artificial neural network visual information computation and processing model is directly related to the performance of saliency map used as mask map.
