RE: Patent Search Results

An excellent list of patents. Some of the patents seem to be more on the imaging system and a few of them are more algorithmic. The number of the patents shown are relatively small compared to the traditional computer vision fields. The lacking of real world applications is a strong indication of the level of maturity of compound eyes technology. In other words, there are plenty of opportunities of innovation in this field! The reason that not many people involved in this field is probably due to the lack of available compound eyes imaging devices. However, it doesn't prevent you from creating a collection of simulated compound eyes images and test your new algorithms on them.
