The authors implement a biologically inspired retina model on an FPGA, combining spatiotemporal filtering, luminance adaptation, contrast gain control, and ganglion-cell spike generation. They compare its output with a quantized MATLAB software reference under matched parameters. At 128×128-pixel input, the system runs at 200 frames per second; OPL output explains 99.51% of software-output variance, not biological accuracy.
