Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method to deduce the dynamic modulation transfer function (DMTF) of a space-variant sampling retina-like sensor and demonstrate its utilization in the forward motion imaging process. With the analysis of sampling and the motion imaging property of the sensor, DMTF has been derived. Next, the performance of DMTF between a retina-like sensor and a rectilinear sensor is compared, and the results show that the degradation of DMTF in forward motion is less than that of a rectilinear sensor. Then, the output images are obtained through simulation based on DMTF, and they are compared with that obtained from a CMOS camera with the same forward motion conditions. The Pearson correlation coefficients between the two kinds of images are all larger than 0.85. Thus, the effectiveness of DMTF is shown.
