Extended Data Fig. 1: The complementarity of the Human Vision System (HVS).
From: A vision chip with complementary pathways for open-world sensing
The retina is composed of rod and cone cells that operate in an oppositional manner to expand the sensitivity range. At the next level, in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), the M-pathway and P-pathway encode information in a complementary manner. The output information from the LGN is then reorganized into a series of primitives, including colour, orientation, depth, and direction at the V1 region. Finally, these primitives are transmitted separately to the ventral and dorsal pathways to facilitate the recognition of objects and visual-guided behavior.
