The eyes of Raptors can accurately sense prey several kilometers away, so researchers wondered whether camera technology could imitate the eyes of birds? According to foreign media reports, inspired by the structure and function of bird eyes, a research team led by Professor Kim Dae-Hyeong of the Center for Nanoparticle Research at the Korea Institute for Basic Science (IBS) collaborated with Professor Song Young Min of the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) in South Korea to develop a perovskite camera specifically for object detection.
Relevant research has been published in the journal Science Robotics.
, The eyes of different organisms in nature have evolved and optimized based on their habitats.
After countless years of evolutionary adaptation and high-altitude flight, bird eyes have formed unique structures and visual functions.
In the retina of an animal’s eye, there is a small pit called the fovea that refracts light entering the eye.
Unlike the shallow fovea of the human eye, the fovea of the bird’s eye is deep and can refract incident light to a large extent.
The area with the highest density of cone cells is located in the fovea (Figure 1b), allowing birds to clearly perceive distant objects by zooming in (Figure 1c).
This special vision is called foveal vision.
