One of the main difficulties that arises when designing automatic vision systems is developing a mechanism that can recognize - or simply find - an object when faced with all the possible variations that may occur in a natural scene, with the ease of the primate visual system. The area of the brain in primates that is dedicated at analyzing visual information is the visual cortex. The visual cortex performs a wide variety of complex tasks by means of simple operations. These seemingly simple operations are applied to several layers of neurons organized into a hierarchy, the layers representing increasingly complex, abstract intermediate processing stages. In this Research Topic we propose to bring together current efforts in neurophysiology and computer vision in order 1) To understand how the visual cortex encodes an object from a starting point where neurons respond to lines, bars or edges to the representation of an object at the top of the hierarchy that is invariant to illumination, size, location, viewpoint, rotation and robust to occlusions and clutter; and 2) How the design of automatic vision systems benefit from that knowledge to get closer to human accuracy, efficiency and robustness to variations. 610 $aobject recognition 610 $aNeuronal modeling 610 $ashape 610 $aNeuromorphic 610 $aComputational neuroscence 610 $aAttention 610 $aVisual Cortex 610 $aComputer Vision 700 $aAntonio Rodriguez-Sanchez$4auth$01287764 702 $aMazyar Fallah$4auth 702 $aAles Leonardis$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910161649403321 996 $aHierarchical Object Representations in the Visual Cortex and Computer Vision$93020365 997 $aUNINA
