End-stopped cells in cortical area V1, which combine outputs of complex cells tuned to different orientations, serve to detect line and edge crossings, singularities and points with large curvature. These cells can be used to construct retinotopic keypoint maps at different spatial scales (level-of-detail). The importance of the multi-scale keypoint representation is studied in this paper. It is shown that this representation provides very important information for object recognition and face detection. Different grouping operators can be used for object segregation and automatic scale selection. Saliency maps for focus-of-attention can be constructed. Such maps can be employed for face detection by grouping facial landmarks at eyes, nose and mouth. Although a face detector can be based on processing within area V1, it is argued that such an operator must be embedded into dorsal and ventral data streams, to and from higher cortical areas, for obtaining translation-, rotation- and scale-invariant detection.
