Abstract: Receptive profiles of V1 cortical cells are very heterogeneous and act by differentiating the stimulus image as operators changing from point to point. A lightness and color constancy image can be reconstructed as the solution of the associated inverse problem, that is a Poisson equation with heterogeneous differential operators. At the neural level the weights of short range connectivity constitute the fundamental solution of the Poisson problem adapted point by point. A first demonstration of convergence of the result towards homogeneous reconstructions is proposed by means of homogenisation techniques.
