An artificial retina with a self-organised retinal receptive field tessellation
L. S. Balasuriya and J. P. Siebert (University of Glasgow, UK)
In this paper we present a means to generate a receptive field
tessellation for an artificial retina using a self-organisation
methodology. The approach addresses the problem of creating a receptive
field tessellation that seamlessly changes from the uniform fovea to the
spacevariant periphery of a retina. We sampled and reconstructed images
by placing overlapping space-variant receptive fields on this retinal
tessellation and scaling the field size according to the local node
density. The results of sampling and reconstructing images using the
above self-organising retina tessellation are presented.
