Receptive Field: Receptive field refers to the specific area in which a neuron responds to stimuli. Neurons with larger receptive fields can detect broader features, while neurons with smaller receptive fields are better at detecting fine details.
Edge Detection:Edge detection is the ability of our visual system to identify boundaries between different objects or regions in an image. It helps us perceive shapes and contours.
Contrast Enhancement: Contrast enhancement involves increasing the difference in intensity or color between adjacent regions in an image. Lateral inhibition plays a crucial role in enhancing contrast by reducing neural activity in less stimulated areas, making differences between adjacent regions more noticeable.
