Abstract

This paper presents a model of the retina with its properties with respect to sampling, spatiotemporal filtering, color-coding and non-linearity, and their consequences on the processing of visual information. It's formalism points out the architectural and algorithmic principles of neuromorphic circuits which are known to improve compactness, consumption, robustness and efficiency, leading to direct applications in engineering science. It's biological aspect, strongly based neural and cellular descriptions makes it suitable as an investigation tool for neurobiologists, allowing the simulation of experiences difficult to set up and answering fundamental theoretical questions.
