Vision

Vision

Vision is the result of light being detected and transduced into neural signals by the retina of the eye. This information is then further analyzed and interpreted by the brain. First, light enters the front of the eye and is focused by the cornea and lens onto the retina—a thin sheet of neural tissue lining the back of the eye. Because of refraction through the convex lens of the eye, images are projected onto the retina upside-down and reversed.

Visual System

Visual System

Light enters the eye through the cornea, a transparent, dome-shaped surface covering the surface of the eyeball that helps to direct and focus incoming light. This light is then channeled toward the pupil, an adjustable opening whose size is controlled by the iris. The iris, a pigmented muscle, regulates the amount of light entering the eye by contracting or dilating the pupil, thereby ensuring optimal light levels for clear vision.
Once through the pupil, the light passes through the lens, a...

Background:

Object recognition is a critical challenge for individuals with visual impairments using artificial prosthetic vision.
Current methods often struggle with the irregular visual information processed by retinal prostheses.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a novel two-stage method for improving object recognition performance in artificial prosthetic vision.
To assess the effectiveness of saliency and edge mask extraction (SMP) combined with irregularity correction (IC) in simulated retinal prosthesis tasks.

Main Methods:

A two-stage approach was proposed: 1) extracting saliency and edge masks (SMP) and 2) applying irregularity correction (IC) to visual information.
Eye-hand coordination tasks were designed, simulating artificial vision with retinal prostheses, using direct pixelation (DP) as a control.
Phosphene maps were maintained consistently for each subject across all trials.

Main Results:

The saliency-based optimization strategies (SMP) significantly improved task performance, reducing head movement, increasing recognition accuracy, and decreasing response time.
Integration with irregularity correction (IC) further enhanced performance, outperforming the direct pixelation (DP) control group.
Specific improvements included reduced average head movement (63.39 ± 15.38 deg), higher accuracy (94.22% ± 3.94%), faster task completion (25.76 s ± 6.24 s), and better small object recognition (1.05 ± 0.30).

Conclusions:

Deep-learning-based saliency detection and irregularity correction processing can significantly shorten search times and improve target object discernment for users of artificial vision.
This AI-driven technique offers a promising direction for future prosthetic device development, enhancing the reliability and usability of artificial vision systems.
