Omnidirectional Light Field Analysis and Reconstruction

Digital photography exists since 1975, when Steven Sasson attempted to build the first digital camera. Since then the concept of digital camera did not evolve much: an optical lens concentrates light rays onto a focal plane where a planar photosensitive ar ...

Real Time Implementation of the Omnidirectional Vision Construction Algorithm of the Panoptic Camera

Vladan Popovic

The visual system of the flying insects is the source of inspiration for the presented hardware vision system. The faceted eyes of a common fly provide it with omnidirectional vision, egomotion and depth estimation. Utilizing the concept of faceted eyes, a ...

Towards a model for View Direction patterns as a function of light distribution

Mandana Sarey Khanie

DAYLIGHT is a desirable architectural component that satisfies both visual and psychological needs of the occupants. Therefore it is essential to integrate this component in the design in a way that maximum daylight is guaranteed and a visually healthy and ...

Control of daily transcript oscillations in Drosophila by light and the circadian clock

Felix Naef

The transcriptional circuits of circadian clocks control physiological and behavioral rhythms. Light may affect such overt rhythms in two ways: (1) by entraining the clock circuits and (2) via clock-independent molecular pathways. In this study we examine ...

Microoptical telescope compound eye

Toralf Scharf

A new optical concept for compact digital image acquisition devices with large field of view is developed and proofed experimentally. Archetypes for the imaging system are compound eyes of small insects and the Gabor-Superlens. A paraxial 3×3 matrix formal ...

Bio-inspired vision-based flying robots

Jean-Christophe Zufferey

There are not yet autonomous flying robots capable of manoeuvring in small cluttered environments as insects do. Encouraged by this observation, this thesis presents the development of ultra-light flying robots and control systems going one step toward ful ...

The Tyr (albino) locus of the laboratory mouse

Friedrich Beermann

The albino mouse was already known in ancient times and was apparently selectively bred in Egypt, China, and Japan. Thus, it is not surprising that the c or albino locus (now the Tyr locus) was among the first used to demonstrate Mendelian inheritance in m ...
