Anyone who's tried to swat a pesky mosquito knows how quickly the insects can evade a hand or fly swatter. The pests' compound eyes, which provide a wide field of view, are largely responsible for ...

The field of biomimetic imaging systems and artificial compound eyes represents a fusion of biological inspiration and advanced engineering to develop compact, high-performance visual devices. These ...

Copying the human lens takes robotic technology a long-way; however, the compound eyes of insects provides a different level of visualization when it comes to peripheral vision. Other advantages that ...

As one of the most successful eye designs in the animal kingdom, natural compound eyes (NCEs) have attracted significant research attention in replicating the anatomical configuration to form ...

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 ...

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) ...
