Abstract: Advanced computer vision mechanisms have been inspired by neuroscientific findings. However, with the focus on improving benchmark achievements, technical solutions have been shaped by application and engineering constraints. This includes the training of neural networks which led to the development of feature detectors optimally suited to the application domain. However, the limitations of such approaches motivate the need to identify computational principles, or motifs, in biological vision that can enable further foundational advances in machine vision. We propose to utilize structural and functional principles of neural systems that have been largely overlooked. They potentially provide new inspirations for computer vision mechanisms and models. Recurrent feedforward, lateral, and feedback interactions characterize general principles underlying processing in mammals. We derive a formal specification of core computational motifs that utilize these principles. These are combined to define model mechanisms for visual shape and motion processing. We demonstrate how such a framework can be adopted to run on neuromorphic brain-inspired hardware platforms and can be extended to automatically adapt to environment statistics. We argue that the identified principles and their formalization inspires sophisticated computational mechanisms with improved explanatory scope. These and other elaborated, biologically inspired models can be employed to design computer vision solutions for different tasks and they can be used to advance neural network architectures of learning.
