Derivatives and inverse of a linear-nonlinear multi-layer spatial vision model

2016

Linear-nonlinear transforms are interesting in vision science because they are key in modeling a number of perceptual experiences such as color, motion or spatial texture. Here we first show that a number of issues in vision may be addressed through an analytic expression of the Jacobian of these linear-nonlinear transforms. The particular model analyzed afterwards (an extension of [Malo & Simoncelli SPIE 2015]) is illustrative because it consists of a cascade of standard linear-nonlinear modules. Each module roughly corresponds to a known psychophysical mechanism: (1) linear spectral integration and nonlinear brightness-from-luminance computation, (2) linear pooling of local brightness…
