Neuromorphic Vision

Participants : Khaled Masmoudi [Laboratoire I3S, UMR CNRS, Université Nice Sophia Antipolis, France] , Marc Antonini [Laboratoire I3S, UMR CNRS, Université Nice Sophia Antipolis, France] , Pierre Kornprobst.

In the scope of Khaled Masmoudi's PhD [9] , we have developed bio-inspired schemes for image coding. This is a new area of ​​research on which very few teams are committed. We have proposed schemes for encoding/decoding images directly using the functional architecture of the retina and the properties of its spiking output (e.g., using Laplacian pyramids model and the rank-order coding  [69] , [68] [20] , [21] and the Virtual Retina simulator [37] from Adrien Wohrer during his PhD  [79] , [78] ).
