Polarization Imaging Target Detection Method by Imitating Dragonfly Compound Eye LF-SF Mechanism

Abstract:

Recently, water surface target detection and tracking for sea, lake, or river are challenging research topics. This paper presents a framework of target detection and tracing based on three-channel synchronization polarization imaging and imitation dragonfly compound eye LF-SF (large field-small field) mechanism. This framework can make full use of the advantages of polarization sensitivity of the compound eyes of a dragonfly, and be useful for effective water surface target detection and motion vector estimation.
