Biomimetic Ultra-Thin Compound-Eye Vision Sensor

随着微电子制造技术的发展，现在可以制造出薄如纸的成像系统。拟议的研究将针对这种系统的开发，以实现“粘贴式摄像机”的概念。这种新成像技术的潜在应用包括用于救援人员的头戴式摄像头贴片，能够通过指纹技术识别其用户的智能信用卡，场所的离散监控，防止驾驶员在车内昏昏欲睡，以及协助医疗诊断和微创手术。这项前沿研究将提高澳大利亚作为前沿技术领导者的声誉。

With the recent advances in microelectronic fabrication technology, it becomes possible today to fabricate paper-thin imaging systems. The proposed research will target the development of such systems to enable the concept of 'stick-on cameras'. Examples of potential applications for this new imaging technology include head-mounted camera patches for rescue workers, smart credit card capable of identifying its user by fingerprint technology, discrete monitoring of venues, preventing driver's drowsiness inside a car but also assisting in medical diagnosis and minimally invasive surgery. This leading edge research will enhance the reputation of Australia as a leader in frontier technologies.
