Retinal prostheses are designed to aid individuals with retinal degenerative conditions such as Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) and Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). These prostheses seek to restore vision and improve the perceived scene by stimulating degenerated retinal cells using retinal stimulating electrodes. While these electrodes allow more efficient interaction with the surroundings, they offer limited resolution.This paper presents an innovative approach to revolutionize the visual perception of retinal prosthesis users. The key idea behind the proposed approach is to fuse information extracted from advanced Meanshift and saliency detection algorithms. This proposed approach aims to improve the perceived scene for users, leading to enhanced visual perception and increased efficiency of retinal prostheses. © 2023 IEEE.
