Foveated sampling and representation of images is a powerful tool for various vision applications. However, there are many
inherent difficulties in implementing it. We present a simple and efficient mechanism to manipulate image analysis operators
directly on the foveated image; A single typed table-based structure is used to represent various known operators. Using the
Complex Log as our foveation method, we show how several operators such as edge detection and Hough transform could be efficiently
computed almost at frame rate, and discuss the complexity of our approach.
