public class Retina
extends Algorithm

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.

run

public void run(Mat inputImage)

Method which allows retina to be applied on an input image, after run, encapsulated retina module is ready to deliver its outputs using dedicated acccessors, see getParvo and getMagno methods

Parameters:

inputImage - the input Mat image to be processed, can be gray level or BGR coded in any format (from 8bit to 16bits)

applyFastToneMapping

public void applyFastToneMapping(Mat inputImage,
                                 Mat 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).

outputToneMappedImage - the output 8bit/channel tone mapped image (CV_8U or CV_8UC3 format).

getParvo

public void getParvo(Mat retinaOutput_parvo)

Accessor of the details channel of the retina (models foveal vision). Warning, getParvoRAW methods return buffers that are not rescaled within range [0;255] while the non RAW method allows a normalized matrix to be retrieved.

Parameters:

retinaOutput_parvo - the output buffer (reallocated if necessary), format can be :

• a Mat, this output is rescaled for standard 8bits image processing use in OpenCV
• RAW methods actually return a 1D matrix (encoding is R1, R2, ... Rn, G1, G2, ..., Gn, B1, B2, ...Bn), this output is the original retina filter model output, without any quantification or rescaling. SEE: getParvoRAW

getParvoRAW

public void getParvoRAW(Mat retinaOutput_parvo)

Accessor of the details channel of the retina (models foveal vision). SEE: getParvo

Parameters:

retinaOutput_parvo - automatically generated

getMagno

public void getMagno(Mat retinaOutput_magno)

Accessor of the motion channel of the retina (models peripheral vision). Warning, getMagnoRAW methods return buffers that are not rescaled within range [0;255] while the non RAW method allows a normalized matrix to be retrieved.

Parameters:

retinaOutput_magno - the output buffer (reallocated if necessary), format can be :

• a Mat, this output is rescaled for standard 8bits image processing use in OpenCV
• RAW methods actually return a 1D matrix (encoding is M1, M2,... Mn), this output is the original retina filter model output, without any quantification or rescaling. SEE: getMagnoRAW

setColorSaturation

public void setColorSaturation(boolean saturateColors,
                               float colorSaturationValue)

Activate color saturation as the final step of the color demultiplexing process -> this saturation is a sigmoide function applied to each channel of the demultiplexed image.

Parameters:

saturateColors - boolean that activates color saturation (if true) or desactivate (if false)

colorSaturationValue - the saturation factor : a simple factor applied on the chrominance buffers

setColorSaturation

public void setColorSaturation(boolean saturateColors)

Activate color saturation as the final step of the color demultiplexing process -> this saturation is a sigmoide function applied to each channel of the demultiplexed image.

Parameters:

saturateColors - boolean that activates color saturation (if true) or desactivate (if false) buffers

setColorSaturation

public void setColorSaturation()

Activate color saturation as the final step of the color demultiplexing process -> this saturation is a sigmoide function applied to each channel of the demultiplexed image. buffers

clearBuffers

public void clearBuffers()

Clears all retina buffers (equivalent to opening the eyes after a long period of eye close ;o) whatchout the temporal transition occuring just after this method call.

activateMovingContoursProcessing

public void activateMovingContoursProcessing(boolean activate)

Activate/desactivate the Magnocellular pathway processing (motion information extraction), by default, it is activated

Parameters:

activate - true if Magnocellular output should be activated, false if not... if activated, the Magnocellular output can be retrieved using the getMagno methods

activateContoursProcessing

public void activateContoursProcessing(boolean 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

                            float samplingStrength)

Constructors from standardized interfaces : retreive a smart pointer to a Retina instance

Parameters:

inputSize - the input frame size

colorMode - the chosen processing mode : with or without color processing

colorSamplingMethod - specifies which kind of color sampling will be used :

• cv::bioinspired::RETINA_COLOR_RANDOM: each pixel position is either R, G or B in a random choice
• cv::bioinspired::RETINA_COLOR_DIAGONAL: color sampling is RGBRGBRGB..., line 2 BRGBRGBRG..., line 3, GBRGBRGBR...
• cv::bioinspired::RETINA_COLOR_BAYER: standard bayer sampling

useRetinaLogSampling - activate retina log sampling, if true, the 2 following parameters can be used

reductionFactor - only usefull if param useRetinaLogSampling=true, specifies the reduction factor of the output frame (as the center (fovea) is high resolution and corners can be underscaled, then a reduction of the output is allowed without precision leak

samplingStrength - only usefull if param useRetinaLogSampling=true, specifies the strength of the log scale that is applied

Returns:
