This is not a complete model but it already present interesting properties that can be involved for enhanced image processing experience. The model allows the following human retina properties to be used :
* spectral whitening that has 3 important effects: high spatio-temporal frequency signals canceling (noise), mid-frequencies details enhancement and low frequencies luminance energy reduction. This *all in one* property directly allows visual signals cleaning of classical undesired distortions introduced by image sensors and input luminance range.

This model originates from Jeanny Herault work [herault2010]_. It has been involved in Alexandre Benoit phd and current research [benoit2010]_. It includes the work of other Jeanny's phd student such as [chaix2007]_ and the log polar transformations of Barthelemy Durette described in Jeanny's book.
**NOTE : See the Retina tutorial in the tutorial/contrib section for complementary explanations.**
The retina can be settled up with various parameters, by default, the retina cancels mean luminance and enforces all details of the visual scene. In order to use your own parameters, you can use at least one time the *write(String fs)* method which will write a proper XML file with all default parameters. Then, tweak it on your own and reload them at any time using method *setup(String fs)*. These methods update a *Retina::RetinaParameters* member structure that is described hereafter. ::
