Musca domestica Based Machine Vision Sensor: Sensor Characterization

Much research on the Musca domestica machine vision sensor has already been conducted at the University of Wyoming. This on - going project is working to increase the capabilities and the ruggedness of the sensor, and characterize the sensor behavior. The sensor illustrates a number of superior qualities when compared to standard vision sensors. I worked over previous summers to design, construct, and test a number of individual s ensor platforms. During the summer of 2010, emphasis on the characterization of a single sensor design was pursued, with the eventual intent of providing a deliverable device to project funding agencies. To that end, a number of characterization tests th at extensively mapped the sensor's behavior were made. The results confirmed previous tests and facilitated a journal article and conference paper.
