Bee Model - Insect Vision
http://www.insectvision.org/flying-insects/bee-model
Our bee eye model is based on measurements reported in [1,2] and extends the model described in [3] to the full field of view of the eyes of a worker bee. The model generates 5453 ommatidia (pixels) per eye (see http:/ biology.anu.edu.au/jochen zeil/crab eye tutorial/. Figure 1. Viewing directions of ommatidia as generated by the bee eye model. 1] R Seidl, W. Kaiser. Visual field size, binocular domain and the ommatidial array of the compound eyes in worker honey bees.

Bee-View Render Engine - Insect Vision
http://www.insectvision.org/flying-insects/bee-view-render-engine
This service allows users to render the world from an arbitrary viewpoint within the limits of our models. The user can choose whether to render panoramic images or images which show the world from the viewpoint of a bee. The current model has been acquired in Canberra (Australia). But we are currently working on other environment models, which will be online soon. Thus, visit us again soon! Explanation of coordinate files. X1 y1 z1 yaw1 pitch1 roll1.

Ant Navigation Challenge - Insect Vision
http://www.insectvision.org/walking-insects/antnavigationchallenge
In the summer of 2009, in an abandoned field on the outskirts of Seville, Spain, we recorded these paths in the Spanish desert ant species. 1] In addition we mapped the area around the nest, allowing the creation of a realistic 3D simulated ant habitat [2]. Combining these data with the known optical properties of the ant eye we can recreate the visual experience of each ant as she travelled her route. Mangan et al, in preparation).

3D Reconstruction Tools - Insect Vision
http://www.insectvision.org/3d-reconstruction-tools
The current model is based on a few scans recorded with a Z F IMAGER 5006. The laser-range finder is equipped with a rotating camera that provides colour information for the measured 3D points. This system generates high resolution data (about 50 million points per scan) with large field of view, up to a distance of 80m in typical acquisition times of about 8 minutes. 1] H Hirschmüller.

Flying Insects - Insect Vision
http://www.insectvision.org/flying-insects
The navigation strategies of flying insects are interesting because they allow this 'miniature platforms' to navigate in 3D space over long distances in a robust, flexible, dynamic and competent manner. In the DLR Multicopter Group. We are interested in making our platforms more compact and agile. Research School of Biology (ANU). ARC Centre of Excellence in Vision Science.

Team - Insect Vision
http://www.insectvision.org/team
Take a biologist, a physicist, and a computer scientist. shake them well! Is a computer scientist with the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), where he works in the field of visual navigation and sensor fusion for resource limited mobile robots. See http:/ www.robotic.dlr.de/Elmar.Mair. Was trained as a physicist before he became interested in studying navigation strategies and sensors of insects and their application to mobile robots.
