Selective attenuation of the image background can lead to reductions in the bandwidth requirements for image recognition in AMD. However, performance of young normal observers for images presented in the periphery was unlike AMD performance under the conditions investigated. These results have interesting implications for the design of image enhancement algorithms to aid low vision observers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
