Abstract

This chapter is a survey of a series of joint works of Shinobu Arai and me. The main purpose of our study is to construct mathematical models of visual information processing in the brain, and to give applications to study of visual illusions and image processing. In this chapter I will describe a part of our simulations of some visual illusions, creations of the so-called “fuyuu illusions”, and an application to image processing.
