Abstract

It has been well known that ICA can extract edge filters from natural scenes. However, it has been also known that the existing cumulant-based ICA can not extract edge filters. It suggests that the simple ICA model is insufficient for explaining the properties of natural scenes. In this paper, we propose a highly overcomplete model for natural scenes. Besides, we show that the 4-th order covariance has a positive constant lower bound under this model. Then, a new cumulant-based ICA algorithm is proposed by utilizing this lower bound. Numerical experiments show that this cumulant-based algorithm can extract edge filters.
