Abstract :
Progress within the field of bionic vision (visual prosthesis) implants is at clinical trial stage, with several blind patients fitted with implanted vision systems, in this paper we suggest the image processing required for these devices is adjusted depending on the scene type. Characteristics of simple scenes are listed along with image processing techniques required to best present information from that scene type.
