THE PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN RETINA ORGANIZATION
AND THEIR USE IN COMPUTER VISION
Abstract. The paper provides a summary of the principles of human retina’s organization. The paper explores the principles of: locality in the interaction of neurons; receptive fields ring organization with on- and off-centers (center-surround organization); neuron layers specialization; feedbacks organization; adaptation to light and contrast levels; data reduction in a video stream. The perfect organization of the human retina makes it possible to significantly improve the technical characteristics of computer vision systems when using the retina as a prototype. The results of this research were used in creation of a family of intelligent video cameras and systems based on them, as well as in building a number of specialized neural networks for primary information processing directly on the sensor matrix.
Keywords: retina, rods and cones, horizontal, bipolar, amacrine and ganglion cells, on- and off-centers, neural network, video sensor, information reading parameters control, intelligent video cameras, multilayer matrix structures.
