An artificial compound eye system is the bionic system of natural compound eyes with much wider field-of-view, better capacity to detect moving objects and higher sensitivity to light intensity than ordinary single-aperture eyes. In recent years, renewed attention has been paid to the artificial compound eyes, due to their better characteristics inheriting from insect compound eyes than ordinary optical imaging systems. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art work on artificial compound eyes. This review starts from natural compound eyes to artificial compound eyes including their system design, theoretical development and applications. The survey of artificial compound eyes is developed in terms of two main types: planar and curved artificial compound eyes. Finally, the most promising future research developments are highlighted.

“…For navigation purposes, the CurvACE system was reported to have been directly applied in the autonomous navigation system [ 76 , 82 ], as shown in Figure 22 g. The optical method was used for navigation in the two systems. The CurvACE consists of a curved matrix of a 42 × 15 artificial ommatidia and has a FOV of 180°.…”

The natural compound eye system has many outstanding properties, such as a more compact size, wider-angle view, better capacity to detect moving objects, and higher sensitivity to light intensity, compared to that of a single-aperture vision system. Thanks to the development of micro- and nano-fabrication techniques, many artificial compound eye imaging systems have been studied and fabricated to inherit fascinating optical features of the natural compound eye. This paper provides a review of artificial compound eye imaging systems. This review begins by introducing the principle of the natural compound eye, and then, the analysis of two types of artificial compound eye systems. We equally present the applications of the artificial compound eye imaging systems. Finally, we suggest our outlooks about the artificial compound eye imaging system.

“…For the T2A method, a maximum processing rate of about 20 000 optical flow vectors per second is demonstrated. For the Lucas-Kanade method, 2D optic flow is calculated at about 1000 optic flow vectors per second across a FOV of 180° × 60° [148,149].…”

The natural compound eye has received much attention in recent years due to its remarkable properties, such as its large field of view (FOV), compact structure, and high sensitivity to moving objects. Many studies have been devoted to mimicking the imaging system of the natural compound eye. The paper gives a review of state-of-the-art artificial compound eye imaging systems. Firstly, we introduce the imaging principle of three types of natural compound eye. Then, we divide current artificial compound eye imaging systems into four categories according to the difference of structural composition. Readers can easily grasp methods to build an artificial compound eye imaging system from the perspective of structural composition. Moreover, we compare the imaging performance of state-of-the-art artificial compound eye imaging systems, which provides a reference for readers to design system parameters of an artificial compound eye imaging system. Next, we present the applications of the artificial compound eye imaging system including imaging with a large FOV, imaging with high resolution, object distance detection, medical imaging, egomotion estimation, and navigation. Finally, an outlook of the artificial compound eye imaging system is highlighted.
