| Abstract(in English) | In the retina, cone and rod photoreceptors are forming a nonuniform spatial arrangement called a photoreceptor mosaic. The cone density decreases with distance from the fovea, while the diameter of the cone increases. Outside the fovea, the rod density increases keeping almost the same diameter. In order to understand the influence of the spatial arrangement on the visual information processing, we developed a realistic model of the photoreceptor mosaic based on the anatomical characteristics. We incorporated the cone-to-cone spacing and the diameter of the photoreceptor obtained from experimental measurements into the model. As a result, we have succeeded in generating an artificial mosaic that well reproduced the photoreceptor density and the cone size. |
