Dynamic selection through gating lattices
Eric O. Postma, H.J. van den Herik, P. T. W. Hudson · 2003
The authors introduce the gating lattice as a parallel distributed model for adaptive sampling of visual images. A gating lattice is a parallel switch capable of dynamic gating, i.e., selecting and propagating one of several input patterns. Gating is distributed in that it is locally controlled. An example of a dynamic-selection problem is given, and the appropriate gating lattice is introduced. The equivalence of the gating lattice with the Ising lattice is specified. Simulations have led to the conclusion that gating lattices form an adequate substrate for models of visual attention.>
