The possible mechanism underlying visual anti-camouflage: a model and its real-time simulation

Visual camouflage and anti-camouflage may be of widespread relevance throughout the animal kingdom. A question arises as to the possible mechanism underlying visual anti-camouflage. A computational model of visual moving image filtering is proposed in which Reichardt´s elementary motion detectors are employed for detecting motion information. Afterimages may play an important role in filtering motion object image. An electronic neural network setup was developed for real-time examination of the computational model. Thus, the separation of the moving object image from its background is realized in real-time, while the detected moving image is in high resolution with lower level noise
