How Does Our Visual System Achieve Shift and Size Invariance
The question of shift and size invariance in the primate visual system is discussed. After a short review of the relevant neurobiology and psychophysics, a more detailed analysis of computational models is given. The two main types of networks considered are the dynamic routing circuit model and invariant feature networks, such as the neocognitron. Some specific open questions in context of these models are raised and possible solutions discussed.
