Optimization of Visual Information Presentation for Visual Prosthesis

Algorithm 1

The main steps of the image segmentation algorithm.

Count and rank the pixel values in the saliency maps.

The higher threshold is set as the pixel value in the 70% place of the ranked

pixels. The lower threshold is set at the 40% of the higher threshold value.

If , the pixels are set as the strong target. If , the pixels are set as

the weak target.

When there is a connected region between the weak target pixel and the strong

target pixel, the weak target pixel is added to the strong target set. Until all the weak

targets have been traversed, the strong target region contains the final segmentation

results.
