According to Livingstone and Hubel(1987), four information, which are color, shape, depth and motion, are processed parallel in the specific functional pathways in the brain.This paper is based on their idea and a human-like visual information processing system is presented. The proposed system is composed of two main modules, a visual selective attention processing module, and a saccadic eye movements processing module. The attention module, inspired by some ideas in cognitive science and computer science, have four sub-modules which process color, shape, depth, and motion information along the Livingstone and hubel''s theory. And all the sub-modules are designed to work parallel and independently so that they have features like human visual system.The saccadic eye movements processing module make a final map from the two maps, that are a filtered map containing location and size information and an unified map weighted differently between four attention sub-modules. All the results in an image are numbered 1 to 4 and that makes the system more plausible.In this paper, a simple on-line survey is used to know how reliable the results are. As a result of the survey, many of the results from the modules have consistency in from the survey. For the survey have a rough assumption that the participants'' responses are similar to ones at their precognition level, some inconsistencies are irresistible and cannot be removed, of course. Future works, therefore, should account for the visual processing at cognition level to develop plausible human-like vision systems.
