The popularization and diffusion of compound-eye array camera technology faces formidable challenges. On the one hand, the high-resolution realization of compound-eye array camera systems usually ...

An interdisciplinary team of computer scientists and engineers, led by John Rogers of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has succeeded in building the first digital cameras that mimic the ...

Autonomous drones are basically cameras with wings. While high resolution cameras focused on the ground might need to be optimized for contrast sensitivity and feature extraction, those that look ...

In arthropods, evolution has created a remarkably sophisticated class of imaging systems, with a wide-angle field of view, low aberrations, high acuity to motion and an infinite depth of field. A ...

A newly created biologically inspired compound eye is helping scientists understand how insects use their compound eyes to sense an object and its trajectory with such speed. The compound eye could ...

A new digital camera developed by researchers mimics insects’ multifaceted vision. So far, the results seem pretty buzzworthy, producing images that likely rival what many bugs see. The ...

Flies are fast-reacting creatures and can sense movement quickly. Researchers have now used flies as their inspiration by developing an artificial insect inspired compound eye that can sense a moving ...

Concept of fast-zoom and high-resolution sparse CEC based on dual-end collaborative optimization. (a) Schematic diagram of imaging scene and the proposed sparse CEC based on liquid lenses. (b) ...
