Abstract

We present ongoing work to harness biological approaches to achieving highly efficient egocentric perception by combining the space- variant imaging architecture of the mammalian retina with Deep Learn- ing methods. By pre-processing images collected by means of eye-tracking glasses to control the fixation locations of a software retina model, we demonstrate that we can reduce the input to a DCNN by a factor of 3, reduce the required number of training epochs and obtain over 98% clas- sification rates when training and validating the system on a database of over 26,000 images of 9 object classes.
