## Detailed Description

class which allows the Gipsa/Listic Labs model to be used with OpenCV.

This retina model allows spatio-temporal image processing (applied on still images, video sequences). As a summary, these are the retina model properties:

- It applies a spectral whithening (mid-frequency details enhancement)
- high frequency spatio-temporal noise reduction
- low frequency luminance to be reduced (luminance range compression)
- local logarithmic luminance compression allows details to be enhanced in low light conditions

USE : this model can be used basically for spatio-temporal video effects but also for : _using the getParvo method output matrix : texture analysiswith enhanced signal to noise ratio and enhanced details robust against input images luminance ranges _using the getMagno method output matrix : motion analysis also with the previously cited properties

for more information, reer to the following papers : Benoit A., Caplier A., Durette B., Herault, J., "USING HUMAN VISUAL SYSTEM MODELING FOR BIO-INSPIRED LOW LEVEL IMAGE PROCESSING", Elsevier, Computer Vision and Image Understanding 114 (2010), pp. 758-773, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cviu.2010.01.011 Vision: Images, Signals and Neural Networks: Models of Neural Processing in Visual Perception (Progress in Neural Processing),By: Jeanny Herault, ISBN: 9814273686. WAPI (Tower ID): 113266891.

The retina filter includes the research contributions of phd/research collegues from which code has been redrawn by the author : take a look at the retinacolor.hpp module to discover Brice Chaix de Lavarene color mosaicing/demosaicing and the reference paper: B. Chaix de Lavarene, D. Alleysson, B. Durette, J. Herault (2007). "Efficient demosaicing through recursive filtering", IEEE International Conference on Image Processing ICIP 2007 take a look at imagelogpolprojection.hpp to discover retina spatial log sampling which originates from Barthelemy Durette phd with Jeanny Herault. A Retina / V1 cortex projection is also proposed and originates from Jeanny's discussions. more informations in the above cited Jeanny Heraults's book.

| pure virtual

Python:
| None | = | cv.bioinspired_Retina.activateContoursProcessing( | activate | )

Activate/desactivate the Parvocellular pathway processing (contours information extraction), by default, it is activated.

Parameters

  activate | true if Parvocellular (contours information extraction) output should be activated, false if not... if activated, the Parvocellular output can be retrieved using the Retina::getParvo methods

## § activateMovingContoursProcessing()

virtual void cv::bioinspired::Retina::activateMovingContoursProcessing | ( | const bool | activate | ) |

## § applyFastToneMapping()

Python:
| outputToneMappedImage | = | cv.bioinspired_Retina.applyFastToneMapping( | inputImage[, outputToneMappedImage] | )

Method which processes an image in the aim to correct its luminance correct backlight problems, enhance details in shadows.

This method is designed to perform High Dynamic Range image tone mapping (compress >8bit/pixel images to 8bit/pixel). This is a simplified version of the Retina Parvocellular model (simplified version of the run/getParvo methods call) since it does not include the spatio-temporal filter modelling the Outer Plexiform Layer of the retina that performs spectral whitening and many other stuff. However, it works great for tone mapping and in a faster way.

Check the demos and experiments section to see examples and the way to perform tone mapping using the original retina model and the method.

Parameters

  inputImage | the input image to process (should be coded in float format : CV_32F, CV_32FC1, CV_32F_C3, CV_32F_C4, the 4th channel won't be considered).
