In blinding bright light or pitch-black dark, our eyes can adjust to extreme lighting conditions within a few minutes. The human vision system, including the eyes, neurons, and brain, can also learn ...

Many robots are equipped with cameras to allow them to see the world. These digital eyes record sequences of still images which must somehow be interpreted as motion. A popular approach is optical ...

Conventional silicon architecture has taken computer vision a long way, but Purdue University researchers are developing an alternative path — taking a cue from nature — that they say is the ...

Research reveals how close human vision comes to sensing the smallest possible unit of light. Here’s why that matters for perception.

Despite advances in machine vision, processing visual data requires substantial computing resources and energy, limiting deployment in edge devices. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a ...

Fabrication of nanoscale light-sensitive materials, known as quantum dots, created a device that reacts to light faster than the human eye. It could revolutionize autonomous vehicles. WASHINGTON, July ...
