Bugfixes to the VirtualRetina Simulator of Adrien Wohrer

Primary LanguageC++OtherNOASSERTION

This repository collects minor bug fixes to the VirtualRetina Simulator1. The package was originally downloaded from here under INRIA CeCill C open-source licence.

The new official website of the simulator is: https://enas.inria.fr/virtual-retina.html

Example files and more extensive documentation can be found in the original package, this repository only holds the source code.

The bugs fixed:

  • when loading a configuration with <units> already specified, the attributes of the spiking channel are not transferred to the units
  • while random positioning was implemented, there was no xml attribute to set positional noise != 0
  • the saveMap command line option did not save the values of the attenuation signal

Contributors to this project are:

  • Adrien Wohrer - original author
  • Emilie Mayer
  • Jacob Huth

This is the retina package. It contains VirtualRetina/, as well as other
libraries required by the software, that you may want to install.

Read
VirtualRetina/tutorial.pdf
for intructions.

Type " bash download_build_all.bash " for an automatic installation
of the library, which will:

1) Download external libraries MvaSpike and CImg and install them locally,
   plus home-made library xmlParameters++, in directory External_Libraries/

2) Compile VirtualRetina.
