Abstract: One of the most important objectives of artificial vision is the development of bioinspired and biomimetic robot vision as well as the development of bionic eyes for the blind. Depending on the specific application different eye models can be used but the most ambitious is the development of a human-like eye. However, human eye is extremely complex and if we even design such a visual device the amount of information to process should be computationally intractable. Normally low-resolution image quality and low visual acuity would be sufficient for our purposes, so simpler biological models could represent excellent computational alternatives. In the present communication we propose to use the visual system of the rat and we justify our proposal by proving that this model fits perfectly the requirements of our applications.
