The present invention relates to a method for processing images, wherein images scanned by at least one detector device are processed, and to a device for carrying out the method. According to the present invention, an image is produced from a sequence of chronologically successive individual images by temporal averaging of when individual images. During a classification step of the method, structured image areas are identified in an image and high pass filtering occurs in another step of the method in the identified structured image areas of the resulting image. Temporal averaging enables detector noise to be reduced and subsequent high pass filtering, which is previously and selectively limited to structurally recognized images, increases the resolution virtually, thereby enhancing the overall image quality.

In order to generate the smallest phosphenes possible, it is advantageous to selectively stimulate smaller cells. By hyperpolarizing the somas of the large cells selectively with sub-threshold anodic ‘pre-pulse’ stimuli (making them more difficult to stimulate) and then selectively depolarize the smaller cells one can selectively stimulate smaller cells. Alternatively, one can hyperpolarize the dendrites of the cells with larger dendritic fields by applying sub-threshold anodic currents on surrounding electrodes and then depolarizing the smaller cells in the center. Further, one can manipulate the phases of an individual biphasic wave to affect selective stimulation resulting in more focal responses. It is possible to increase resolution with the ‘pre-pulse’ described above. One can also effect resolution by modifying the pulse order of the cathodic and anodic phases. Further, one can isolate the effect of the phases by separating them in time (long inter-phase interval) or by making one of the phases long and low amplitude—always keeping equal total charge for the two phases. As an example, one can preferentially stimulate smaller ganglion cells by providing a longer sub-threshold anodic pulse balanced with a shorter supra-threshold cathodic pulse. Preferentially stimulating the smaller ganglion cells will allow stimulation of different brightness levels while maintaining high spatial resolution.
