Abstract

Biological vision systems are capable of discerning detail and detecting motion in a wide range of highly variable lighting conditions. We describe the real-time implementation of a biological vision model using a high dynamic range video camera and a General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit (GPGPU) and demonstrate the effectiveness of the implementation in two surveillance applications: dynamic equalization of contrast for improved recognition of scene detail; and the use of biologically-inspired motion processing for the detection of small or distant moving objects in a complex scene.
