The compound eye camera’s expansive field of view isn’t what makes it so special. Fisheye lenses are a favorite of photographers, and they already give you a 180-degree view of the world.

Scientists have built a digital camera inspired by the compound eyes of insects such as bees and flies. The camera's hemispherical array of 180 microlenses give it a 160˚ field of view and the ...

We’ve seen plenty of surveillance cameras built from a Raspberry Pi, but MakeUseOf has a fun twist that also allows you to control the movement of the camera. This project uses a Raspberry Pi 2 ...

These digital cameras, which are hemispherical and flexible like their insectoid counterparts, offer nearly infinite depth of field, and a full 180-degree field of view with zero image aberration.

Cameras inspired by the compound eyes of insects enable an extremely wide field of view without expensive lenses, potentially offering cheap, simple and lightweight visual sensors for navigation ...

Rogers says that his next project is to go “beyond biology”, by inflating or deflating the camera to adjust its field of view. References Song, Y. M. et al. Nature 497 , 95-99 (2013).

The popularization and diffusion of compound-eye array camera technology faces formidable challenges. On the one hand, the high-resolution realization of compound-eye array camera systems usually ...

The camera developed by the researchers sported 180 microlenses and each one captured a unique angle of the subject photographed. What is the use of such a lens?

These digital cameras, which are hemispherical and flexible like their insectoid counterparts, offer nearly infinite depth of field, and a full 180-degree field of view with zero image aberration.
