On the Eye of “Yellow Lens” Fish Chlorophthalmus albatrossis

Genomic and phylogenetic characterization of luminous bacteria symbiotic with the deep-sea fish Chlorophthalmus albatrossis (Aulopiformes: Chlorophthalmidae).

Bacteria forming light-organ symbiosis with deep-sea chlorophthalmid fishes (Aulopiformes: Chlorophthalmidae) are considered to belong to the species Photobacterium phosphoreum. The identification of these bacteria as P. phosphoreum, however, was based exclusively on phenotypic traits, which may not discriminate between phenetically similar but evolutionarily distinct luminous bacteria. Therefo...

Accuracy of fish-eye lens models.

The majority of computer vision applications assumes that the camera adheres to the pinhole camera model. However, most optical systems will introduce undesirable effects. By far, the most evident of these effects is radial lensing, which is particularly noticeable in fish-eye camera systems, where the effect is relatively extreme. Several authors have developed models of fish-eye lenses that c...

Maxwell's fish-eye lens and the mirage of perfect imaging

Recent claims that Maxwell’s fish-eye is a perfect lens, capable of providing images with deep subwavelength resolution, are examined. We show that the imaging properties of a dispersionless fish-eye are very similar to those of an ideal spherical cavity. Using this correspondence, we prove that the correct solution to Maxwell equations in the fish-eye gives image sizes that are consistent with...

Recognition of landmarks distorted by fish-eye lens

The paper deals with recognition of artificial landmarks using fish-eye lens. The proposed recognition model is based on algebraic affine moment invariants (AMIs). Landmarks are used for the navigation of an autonomous robot, equipped with a fisheye lens camera. The recognition ability of the AMIs regarding the deformation introduced by the fish-eye lens image acquisition is investigated. The r...
