title: Line width determination using a biomimetic fly eye vision system.
abstract: Developing a new vision system based on the vision of the common house fly, Musca domestica, has created many interesting design challenges. One of those problems is line width determination, which is the topic of this paper. It has been discovered that line width can be determined with a single sensor as long as either the sensor, or the object in question, has a constant, known velocity. This is an important first step for determining the width of any arbitrary object, with unknown velocity.
