| Abstract | The design, simulation and evaluation of a retinal model is presented. The model comprises a fuzzy inference system, modelling macro retinal function, hybridized with a simplified version of an existing linear spacio-temporal filter, modelling micro retinal function. Macro retinal function is simulated using a test image and qualitatively validated against physiological theory. The model could be improved by incorporating the time factor involved in dark and light adaptation, and by modifying the intensity membership functions to depict the true dark and light adaptation thresholds. Micro retinal function is investigated by simulating the simplified existing model using a test video, and critically re-examining the results against a real retinal spike-rate response from the literature. The micro retinal simulation shows some of the essential features of a real retina, but is unrealistic, presumably due to the model being a linear approximation of the retina, which is a non-linear system. Results suggest that the hybridized model is more realistic than the micro retinal model alone. It is anticipated that still more realistic results could be achieved using a Neuro-fuzzy model. Extensions to this model may provide insight into retinal dysfunction with a view to electronic visual augmentation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
