Abstract

This demo displays a retina exploration system. The system is designed to explore and understand the essence of the retina channels and offers a potential input transformation for retinal implants [1] The primary motivation was to deduce a simple algorithmic skeleton from neurobiological measurements [2]. The model is tuned for several different retina channels with less than one-half percent spatial-temporal error The implementation platform of our novel neuromorphic retina model is the Bi-I [3] The Bi-I computer, containing the ACE16k CNN-UM [4] and DSP chips computes our parallel multi-channel model in video real-time. The on-line control is provided by external controllers to enable changing parameters on-line. The system will be available to experimentation.
