Controlling the Visual Attention with Layered Dual Pyramid Architecture

Visual attention is a fast developing area of the pattern recognition field. The area has been drawn the attention of the research community, because the theory has solid biophysical support and it is capable of bringing together the various concepts of pattern recognition. The paper presents a network architecture that is capable of providing bottom up, top-down and lateral information flow. The framework to accomplish the three-directional information flow is the Layered Dual Pyramid (LDP) architecture.
