The Human Eye - can
By David Hambling. A sensor that mimics the way a human eye responds to light could make digital cameras more efficient. This could pave the way to faster, more efficient machine vision for things like self-driving cars and robots. Some modern cameras are built around charge-coupled devices CCDs , which produce a voltage when light falls on them. Continuous light produces a continuous signal. By contrast, retinal cells produce a spike only when first lit up, reacting further only when the light changes. The biological system is more efficient in handling information, as it only sends new data. Existing subscribers, please log in with your email address to link your account access. The Human Eye.The human visual system is constantly bombarded with a slew of visual data, from which it actively selects and assimilates relevant visual information in an efficient and seemingly effortless manner.
The researchers have developed an algorithm which imitates the human eye when searching for an object within a cluttered space. The information they find will allow them to develop software and other hardware. The results could be used to create applications to help with medical diagnostics, or even to find lost car keys.
