Abstract:
We present and evaluate different approaches to feature accentuation in phosphenated images for different image resolutions. The goal of this study is to find methods to attract an implantee's visual attention to important image content like faces, obstacles or road signs. We do this by defining an important region in the image and accentuating it by either increasing the brightness of outlining phosphenes or by using elliptical phosphenes to circumscribe the feature. While we only see limited benefit of ellipse phosphenes for a high-resolution prosthesis, the use of elliptical phosphenes of different orientations is a promising way to highlight features in a low-resolution phosphene representation of an image.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
