Abstract
For the analysis of image data—independent of file format, recording mimic and image size—a general model of visual signal processing and interpretation was derived and converted into a bionic algorithm. This algorithm, which is based on the current neurobiological principles of the mammalian light sense, enables contrast enhancement and edge detection independent of illumination as well as implicit noise suppression without recourse to numerically standard image processing methods.
