title: Information processing from a onedimensional bioinspired analog sensor.
abstract: An analog sensor inspired by the vision system of the common housefly, Musca domestica, exhibits intriguing characteristics of fast, cooperative information processing. It also has the capability to detect movement at better resolution than that predicted by individual photoreceptor spacing. A prototype one dimensional sensor has been developed. We have modeled this sensor extensively and built first generation prototypes. We are working to develop and characterize a second-generation, robust sensor to solve a variety of real world imaging challenges. In this paper we discuss sensor development, fabrication of a controller parameter test station, and preliminary results of extracting information from the sensor.
