Abstract(in English) A visual model for filling-in at the blind spot is proposed. Standard regularization theory is employed to derive a visual model deductively. First, some problems of the diffusion eqation, which is frequently used for depth perception, are pointed out. Then, the computational role of a neural property discovered by Matsumoto and Komatsu (J. Neurophysiology, vol.93, pp.2374-2387, 2005) is reconsidered, and second derivative quantities, curvature of level-set and curvature of flow line, are appended into a priori knowledge of image on the blind spot. Moreover, two different kinds of information paths for filling-in (slow conductive paths of horizontal connections in V1, and fast feedforward/feedback paths via V2) is regarded as a neural implementation of adiabatic approximation between V1 and V2. Numerical simulations show that the outputs of the computational model for filling-in is consistent with a neurophysiological experimental result, and that the model is a powerful tool for digital image inpainting.
