Abstract
Described is a bio-inspired vision system for object recognition. The system comprises an attention module, an object recognition module, and an online labeling module. The attention module is configured to receive an image representing a scene and find and extract an object from the image. The attention module is also configured to generate feature vectors corresponding to color, intensity, and orientation information within the extracted object. The object recognition module is configured to receive the extracted object and the feature vectors and associate a label with the extracted object. Finally, the online labeling module is configured to alert a user if the extracted object is an unknown object so that it can be labeled.
