Abstract

A modeling of the image processing occurring at the level of the retina is sought to be developed. The aim is to show the advantages of using such a modeling in order to develop efficient and fast bio-inspired modules for low-level image processing in computer vision. The retinal model produces a contour-enhanced profile which is used to detect motion and orientation of contours. For this, a discrete Fourier transform–based approach has been developed.
