Superposition - Type Spherical Compound - like Eye for Pan - Tilt Motion Recovery

چکیده

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 incorporating a third CCD camera into a conventional binocular is very helpful in resolving translational motion. Extended from this concept, this study presents a novel spherical compound-like eye of a superposition type for pan-tilt rotational motion. We conclude that as the number of ommatidium an insect has increased, capability for detecting prey increases, even for ambiguous patterns in each ommatidium. In this study, the compound eyes of insects are investigated using computer vision principles. Keywords—Biological imaging, Superposition-type spherical compound-like eye, Pan-tilt motion detection.

Motion Estimation Using the Single-row Superposition-type Planar Compound-like Eye

How can the compound eye of insects capture the prey so accurately and quickly? This interesting issue is explored from the perspective of computer vision instead of from the viewpoint of biology. The focus is on performance evaluation of noise immunity for motion recovery using the single-row superposition-type planar compoundlike eye (SPCE). The SPCE owns a special symmetrical framework with ...

Spherical Panoramas for Pan-Tilt Camera Motion Compensation in Space-Variant Images

In active vision scenarios, the motion of the observer induces an apparent motion in the image plane. One approach for camera motion compensation is the use of panoramic images, representing the scene at the different positions of the camera. In this work, an approach to build spherical panoramic views from a pan-tilt camera is described, which is based on background updating techniques. Intere...
