Neuromorphic image processing employs neuromorphic neurons arranged as relay neurons, interneurons and reticular neurons to process image data. A neuromorphic image processing channel includes relay neurons and interneurons to receive spiking input signals. The interneurons provide feed-forward inhibition to the relay neurons. The neuromorphic image processing channel also includes reticular neurons to receive output spiking signals from and to provide feedback inhibition to the relay neurons. A neuromorphic image processing system includes a first neuromorphic image processing (NIP) channel to receive a first set of spiking input signals and a second NIP channel to receive a second set of spiking input signals. The neuromorphic image processing system also includes reticular neurons to receive output spiking signals from and to provide feedback inhibition to both the first and second NIP channels.
