This paper proposes a neural network called “Hierarchical Overlapping Sensory Mapping (HOSM)”, motivated by the structure of receptive fields in biological vision. To extract the features from these receptive fields, a method called Candid covariance-free Incremental Principal Component Analysis (CCIPCA) is used to automatically develop a set of orthogonal filters. An application of HOSM on a robot with eyes shows that the HOSM algorithm can pay attention to different targets and get its cognition for different environments in real time.
