Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a processing device, raw image data corresponding to a series of raw images; and processing the raw image data with an encoder of the processing device to generate encoded data, wherein the encoder is characterized by an input/output transformation that substantially mimics the input/output transformation of at least one retinal cell a vertebrate retina; wherein the processing the raw image data comprises applying a spatiotemporal transformation to a set of images to generate a set of retinal response values, and wherein the applying the spatiotemporal transformation further comprises: applying a spatiotemporal kernel to the set of images to generate spatially-temporally transformed images; and applying a nonlinear function to the spatially-temporally transformed images to generate the set of retinal response values; generating the encoded data based on the set of retinal response values; and activating a high resolution signaling device according to the encoded data.
