Innovative bird-eye-inspired camera developed for enhanced object detection

Science Daily  May 30, 2024 Despite notable advances in artificial vision systems that mimic animal vision, the exceptional object detection and targeting capabilities of avian eyes via foveated and multispectral imaging remain underexplored. Researchers in South Korea have developed an artificial vision system that capitalizes on these aspects of avian vision by vertically stacking perovskite photodetector arrays whose designs were optimized by theoretical simulations for the demonstration of foveated and multispectral imaging. The artificial vision system successfully identified colored and mixed-color objects and detected remote objects through foveated imaging. They discussed the potential for its use in uncrewed aerial vehicles […]
