Artificial Vision
ARTIFICIAL VISION
ABSTRACT: Blindness, the most severe form of visual impairment, deprives people the ability to move about unaided. It is the most feared ailment in the present world. The leading causes of chronic blindness include cataract, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, corneal opacities, diabetic retinopathy, trachoma, and eye conditions in children (e.g. caused by vitamin A deficiency). Artificial vision has been a challenging task for the opto bionics. But now, a limited form of artificial vision is a reality. In this paper we present the various forms of artificial vision available for the blind in detail.
INTRODUCTION: The Biomedical Instrumentation is the field in which various solutions for the medical problems is served. Linking electronics and biotechnology, the scientists has made the commitment to the development of technology that will provide or restore vision for the visually impaired around the world. Several investigations are being carried out on electronic-based strategies designed to bypass various defects or missing links along the brain's image processing pathway and provide some form of artificial sight. We will discuss about the various development of artificial vision system, the concepts of artificial silicon retina, MARC (multiple artificial silicon retina chipset),and finally advancements and scope of this in future.
ORIGIN OF ARTIFICIAL VISION: Artificial-vision researchers has taken inspiration from another device, the cochlear implant, which has successfully restored hearing to thousands of deaf people and smart pacemakers which keeps heart beat rhythm normal. The eye is one of the most amazing organs in the body. Before we understand how artificial vision is created, it's important to know about the important role that the retina plays in how we see.
RETINA: The retina is complex in itself. This thin membrane at the back of the eye is a vital part of our ability to see. Its main function is to receive
