Learning object representations using a priori constraints within ORASSYLL.
In this article, a biologically plausible and efficient object recognition system (called ORASSYLL) is introduced, based on a set of a priori constraints motivated by findings of developmental psychology and neurophysiology. These constraints are concerned with the organization of the input in local and corresponding entities, the interpretation of the input by its transformation in a highly structured feature space, and the evaluation of features extracted from an image sequence by statistical evaluation criteria. In the context of the bias-variance dilemma, the functional role of a priori knowledge within ORASSYLL is discussed. In contrast to systems in which object representations are defined manually,the introduced constraints allow an autonomous learning from complex scenes.
