Natural compound-eyes consist of a large number of ommatidia that are arranged on curved surfaces and thus are able to detect signals from a wide field of view. We present an integrated artificial compound-eye sensor system with enhanced field of view of 180 ° × 60 ° due to the introduction

Abstract—The compound eyes of an insect can focus on prey accurately and quickly. From biological perspective, compound eyes are excellent at detecting motion. Based on the computer vision aspect, limited studies regarding this issue exist. Studies have verified that a trinocular visual system

research resorts to prespecified sensor systems that remain fixed during all experiments and does modifications only in the software components of the controllers. By contrast, this paper is about the direct evolution of an artificial compound eye in hardware. The hardware consists of a particular robot

Miniaturized low-power artificial compound eyes in a small form factor and a low payload can be a promising approach to provide wide-field information for micro-air-vehicle (MAV) applications. Recently, research efforts have been made to realize bio-inspired artificial compound eyes to mimic

Based on an information theoretical approach, we investigate feature selection processes in saccadic object and scene analysis. Saccadic eye movements of human observers are recorded for a variety of natural and artificial test images. These experimental data are used for a statistical evaluation

should produce unitless indicators that can be employed to judge the relative vulnerabilities of diverse systems to multiple stresses and to their potential interactions. An artificial application is employed to describe the development of the method and to illustrate how it might be applied. Some

For a systematic investigation of the interdependence between an agent's morphology and its task environment we constructed a system that is able to automatically generate optimal sensor morphologies for given tasks. The system consists of a robot with an articial compound eye where
