An Insect Eye Inspired Miniaturized Multi-Camera System for Endoscopic Imaging
In thiswork,we present aminiaturized high definition vision system inspired by insect eyes, with a distributed illumination method, which can work in dark environments for proximity imaging applications such as endoscopy. Our approach is based on modeling ...
Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc2017An artificial elementary eye with optic flow detection and compositional properties
Dario Floreano, Ramon Pericet Camara, Michal Karol Dobrzynski
We describe a 2 mg artificial elementary eye whose structure and functionality is inspired by compound eye ommatidia. Its optical sensitivity and electronic architecture are sufficient to generate the required signals for the measurement of local optic flo ...
2015Probable nature of higher-dimensional symmetries underlying mammalian grid-cell activity patterns
Lattices abound in nature—from the crystal structure of minerals to the honey-comb organization of ommatidia in the compound eye of insects. These arrangements provide solutions for optimal packings, efficient resource distribution, and cryptographic proto ...
