Bio-Inspired Imaging technology has the prospective to improve and enhance Image analysis, Long- distance surveillance of targets, Optical techniques, Navigation, Object detection and Healthcare. The rationale of this study is to explore the image formation by different insect eyes that will benefit the digital imaging with high resolution and wide field of view and the defense and military areas. For this study, architectures of different compound eyes were studied, such as Apposition, Superposition and Neural superposition. Human eye is polarization blind and without usage of an artificial polarization instrument, it cannot employ the polarization of light. Whereas, Insect vision holds numerous advantages as their compound eyes provides wide viewing angle, good tracking abilities due to large amount of photoreceptor units and foremost important can detect the polarized light. Design parameters considered for this study were, angular spacing of receptors, degree of blurring, diameter and contrast of the photoreceptors, signal-to-noise ratio, motion artifacts and the polarimetric arrangement of the eye. The five insect species that were considered for the study are Hemicordulia tau, Anoplognathus pallidicollis, Heteronympha merope, Melanitis leda and Phalaenoides tristifica. Footprints and Gaussian optical blur filters of different insects were attained. The outcome of this study designates the importance of Bio-inspired imaging in distinct areas of defense, security and healthcare applications. 2013 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1386765298 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1386765298 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
