Light is one of the keys to machine vision, and smart vision people recognize that it’s possible to harness both wavelength and polarization to solve some of our application challenges. However, humans are hampered in this by our inability to sense light in the UV or IR parts of the spectrum, or to perceive polarization.
Research in Australia has shown that, in this regard, we’re significantly inferior to the mantis shrimp. Apparently this little beastie can see way more than you and I. (Thanks again to R&D magazine for another intriguing article.)
I wonder if there’s a way I can put a mantis shrimp to work in my lab?
