This paper presents a new model to realize a supervised image segmentation task. [] Key Method Also, in order to work with the SCRF model, is proposed here a new artificial neural network, called IPyraNet, which is a hybrid implementation of the recently described PyraNet and the nonclassical receptive fields inhibition. Furthermore, the model and the network are applied together in order to realize a satellite image segmentation task.

Enhancing Semantic Segmentation of Aerial Images with Inhibitory Neurons
TLDR
This paper begins with deep network architectures such as VGG and ResNet, and proposes an approach to add lateral inhibition in each output neuron to reduce its impact on its neighbours, both in fine-tuning pre-trained models and training from scratch.

Contour detection based on nonclassical receptive field inhibition
TLDR
The proposed biologically motivated method to improve contour detection in machine vision, called nonclassical receptive field (non-CRF) inhibition (more generally, surround inhibition or suppression), is proposed and is more useful for contour-based object recognition tasks, than traditional edge detectors, which do not distinguish between contour and texture edges.

Skin segmentation using color pixel classification: analysis and comparison
TLDR
This work finds that color quantization can be as low as 64 bins per channel, although higher histogram sizes give better segmentation performance, and that the Bayesian classifier with the histogram technique and the multilayer perceptron classifier are found to perform better compared to other tested classifiers.
