As you're reading this, your eyes are in most cases slowly scanning from left to right but even when not reading or looking at a fixed object your eyes are constantly on the move and this, it turns out, is the key to the quality of human vision and how robots, self-driving cars, and maybe even smartphones could see more clearly. A team of University of Maryland researchers created a camera that mimics human eye movements. Called the Artificial Microsaccade-Enhanced Event Camera (AMI-EV), it uses a rotating round wedge prism (round, but one face of the prism is sharply angled) rotating in front of an event camera, in this case, an Intel RealSense D435 camera, to move the images around. Even though the movements are small, they're meant to mimic the saccades of the human eye. Saccades describe three different levels of movement the eye makes – Rapid, small tremors, slower eye drift, and microsaccades, which happen multiple times per second and are small enough to be imperceptible to the human eye... #camera #robot #smartphone #technology

Scientists make cameras work more like human eyes and this could be good news for future smartphones
