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

متن کاملMotion 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 ...
متن کاملSpherical 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...
متن کاملDesign of a Humanoid Robot Eye
This chapter addresses the design of a robot eye featuring the mechanics and motion characteristics of a human one. In particular the goal is to provide guidelines for the implementation of a tendon driven robot capable to emulate saccadic motions. In the first part of this chapter the physiological and mechanical characteristics of the eyeplant1 in humans and primates will be reviewed. Then, t...
