Reverse engineering the human vision system: a possible explanation for the role of microsaccades

We present a method of image reconstruction, which is invariant to the chosen group of transformations of the spline grid used to reconstruct the image. Integration over a group of transformations may be what the human eye does during microsaccades, which may be an explanation of why the images we see are not aliased although the sensors with which we record them are irregularly placed in the retina.
