To aid an automobile driver, image processing is used to detect another vehicle approaching from the left or right rear, which may easily enter a blind spot. The basic information that is used for detection is image movement (optical flow). However, calculating image movement by traditional means is operationally intensive and requires expensive equipment. However, after noticing that an insect uses information from simple sensors such as compound eyes and processing performed by a simple nervous system to obtain sufficient information, the authors tried to reach their objective according to simple processing and low-resolution image information. Although they used a normal camera and computer for the experiments, the authors assume that the technique will be implemented in the future on a device created by using simple electronic circuits and light-receiving elements such as photodiode arrays. A major feature of the proposed technique is that its computational complexity is low. The difference in computation time compared with the average image processing for the conventional technique was on the order of 10−5. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
