A Differential Approach for Gaze Estimation

Jean-Marc Odobez, Yu Yu

Most non-invasive gaze estimation methods regress gaze directions directly from a single face or eye image. However, due to important variabilities in eye shapes and inner eye structures amongst individuals, universal models obtain limited accuracies and t ...

An Insect Eye Inspired Miniaturized Multi-Camera System for Endoscopic Imaging

Yusuf Leblebici, Ömer Cogal

In thiswork,we present aminiaturized high definition vision system inspired by insect eyes, with a distributed illumination method, which can work in dark environments for proximity imaging applications such as endoscopy. Our approach is based on modeling ...

An artificial elementary eye with optic flow detection and compositional properties

Dario Floreano, Ramon Pericet Camara, Michal Karol Dobrzynski

We describe a 2 mg artificial elementary eye whose structure and functionality is inspired by compound eye ommatidia. Its optical sensitivity and electronic architecture are sufficient to generate the required signals for the measurement of local optic flo ...

A small-scale hyperacute compound eye featuring active eye tremor: application to visual stabilization, target tracking, and short-range odometry

Dario Floreano

In this study, a miniature artificial compound eye (15 mm in diameter) called the curved artificial compound eye (CurvACE) was endowed for the first time with hyperacuity, using similar micro-movements to those occurring in the fly's compound eye. A period ...

A Miniaturized Insect Eye Inspired Multi-camera Real-time Panoramic Imaging System

Ömer Cogal

During the last 50 years miniaturization became a key element in human history, since it opens doors for manufacturing new devices that enhances the quality of human life. Camera and imaging systems are following this miniaturization trend as well. Meanwhi ...

Miniature curved artificial compound eyes

Dario Floreano, Ramon Pericet Camara, Michal Karol Dobrzynski, Géraud L'Eplattenier

In most animal species, vision is mediated by compound eyes, which offer lower resolution than vertebrate single-lens eyes, but significantly larger fields of view with negligible distortion and spherical aberration, and high temporal resolution in a tiny ...

Bio-inspired vision-based flying robots

Jean-Christophe Zufferey

There are not yet autonomous flying robots capable of manoeuvring in small cluttered environments as insects do. Encouraged by this observation, this thesis presents the development of ultra-light flying robots and control systems going one step toward ful ...
