Deep Ego-Motion Classifiers for Compound Eye Cameras.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Compound eyes, also known as insect eyes, have a unique structure. They have a hemispheric surface, and a lot of single eyes are deployed regularly on the surface. Thanks to this unique form, using the compound images has several advantages, such as ...

What Is Morphological Computation? On How the Body Contributes to Cognition and Control.

Artificial life
The contribution of the body to cognition and control in natural and artificial agents is increasingly described as "offloading computation from the brain to the body," where the body is said to perform "morphological computation." Our investigation ...

Flying over uneven moving terrain based on optic-flow cues without any need for reference frames or accelerometers.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Two bio-inspired guidance principles involving no reference frame are presented here and were implemented in a rotorcraft, which was equipped with panoramic optic flow (OF) sensors but (as in flying insects) no accelerometer. To test these two guidan...

A small-scale hyperacute compound eye featuring active eye tremor: application to visual stabilization, target tracking, and short-range odometry.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In this study, a miniature artificial compound eye (15 mm in diameter) called the curved artificial compound eye (CurvACE) was endowed for the first time with hyperacuity, using similar micro-movements to those occurring in the fly's compound eye. A ...

Seeing through arthropod eyes: An AI-assisted, biomimetic approach for high-resolution, multi-task imaging.

Science advances
Arthropods have intricate compound eyes and optic neuropils, exhibiting exceptional visual capabilities. Combining the strengths of digital imaging with the features of natural arthropod visual systems offers a promising approach to harness wide-angl...
