Abstract/Summary:
Imaging sensors are used in a variety of applications. The most common implementation occurs in digital cameras, where charge coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal-oxide (CMOS) sensors are predominantly used. However, traditional CCD sensors and CMOS sensors struggle in the detection of objects that move quickly across the sensor or exist in low-contrast situations. In this project, newly developed fly eye sensors are utilized to perform such tasks to a greater degree of precision than is possible through use of a common sensor. The objects presented to the fly eye sensors are small enough that they would be undetectable for the CCD arrays used in past research, demonstrating the improved motion detection capabilities existing within the fly eye sensor system.
