Abstract:

In this paper a new model of the Outer Plexiform Layer (OPL) of the human retina is presented. The model, hich is a multi-resolution Linear Recurrent Neural Network (LRNN) defined by 31 parameters, was subjected to several optimization experiments targeting different low-level visual functions involving the control of noise, brightness, contrast, saturation and color. Our results indicate that the model can indeed implement the above image processing functions and that the solutions can be modulated in different ways. The model provides a good starting point for extensions targeting real world appliations and for the generation of testable biological hy- potheses.
