- Abstract
The perception of motion direction is essential for the survival of visual animals. Despite various theoretical and biophysical investigations that have been conducted to elucidate directional selectivity at the neural level, the systemic mechanism of motion direction detection remains elusive. Here, we develop an artificial visual system (AVS) based on the core computation of the Hassenstein–Reichardt correlator (HRC) model for global motion direction detection. With reference to the biological investigations of Drosophila, we first describe a local motion-sensitive, directionally detective neuron that only responds to ON motion signals with high pattern contrast in a particular direction. Then, we use the full-neurons scheme motion direction detection mechanism to detect the global motion direction based on our previous research. The mechanism enables our AVS to detect multiple directions in a two-dimensional view, and the global motion direction is inferred from the outputs of all local motion-sensitive directionally detective neurons. To verify the reliability of our AVS, we conduct a series of experiments and compare its performance with the time-considered convolution neural network (CNN) and the EfficientNetB0 under the same conditions. The experimental results demonstrated that our system is reliable in detecting the direction of motion, and among the three models, our AVS has better motion direction detection capabilities.
