    • Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics

    Lecture 6: Biomimetic and Bioinspired Sensors: Vision, Hearing

    • November 6th, 2024
    • Presented by Dr. Sándor Földi
    • Focuses on sensor technologies and biological sensing

    Contents

    • Optics
    • Physiology of vision
    • Classic camera
    • Bioinspired vision sensor technologies
    • Depth camera
    • Physiology of hearing
    • Bioinspired hearing sensor

    Basic Optics

    • Image formation: Light reflected from an object/scene focuses on an image plane.
    • Camera sensors: Located at the image plane.
    • Sharpest image: Created with a converging lens or system of lenses.
    • Gaussian lens equation: 1/So + 1/Si = 1/f (where So = object distance, Si = image distance, f = focal length)
    • Focal length and other optical parameters depend on wavelength.
    • Optical infinity: Object distance resulting in image plane distance close to focal length (So ≥ 100f).
    • Visual acuity exams: So ≈ 338f
    • Spatial sampling: Center-to-center distance between sensor locations equals the reciprocal of spatial sampling frequency.
    • Sampling theorem: Limits spatial frequencies that can be sampled and reconstructed without aliasing.
    • Aliasing: Noticable in periodic patterns (e.g., stripes), causing them to appear broader and distorted.
    • Aperture Size: Lenses cannot focus light to infinitely small points, resulting in blur spots.
    • Effective aperture size: Diameter, numerical aperture (microscopy), f-number.
    • Depth of Field (DOF): Axial distance over which objects are imaged with acceptable sharpness.
    • DOF is smaller with larger apertures.
    • Longer focal length lenses result in a smaller DOF for a given aperture.
    • Field of view: Span over which a given scene is imaged.
    • FOV determined by geometry, independent of object distance.
    • For a sensor of size 'a', angular FOV = 2arctan(a/2f).
    • Reflection and refraction: Light encountering a boundary with different refractive indices changes direction (or reflects).
    • Snell's law: Predicts refraction angles; sinθ₁/n₁ = sinθ₂/n₂
    • Angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.
    • Reflectance (R) and Transmittance (T): Fraction of incident light intensity reflected or refracted (R + T = 1).
    • Aberrations: Imperfections in lenses, including monochromatic and chromatic.
    • Monochromatic aberrations: Spherical, comma, astigmatism, field curvature, defocus, barrel and pincushion distortion.
    • Chromatic aberration: Multiple wavelengths, refractive index varies with wavelength. Causes fringes of inappropriate color along edges in images.

    Fourier Optics

    • Powerful method for design considerations like aperture, lenses, photodetector sizes, and spatial sampling.
    • Point Spread Function (PSF): Describes how a point light source is spread by an optical component.
    • Optical Transfer Function (OTF): Fourier Transform of PSF.
    • Modulation Transfer Function (MTF): Magnitude of OTF
    • Contrast Transfer Function (CTF): Often use line pairs to define maximal frequency sinusoidal pattern.

    • Photons generate electrons. Infrared photons don't, UV photons absorbed early.
    • Quantum efficiency typically around 70%.
    • Free electrons trapped in potential holes (2-100,000 per electron).
    • Blooming: Overflow of electrons.
    • Steps of sensing: Exposure → transfer to neighbor (shift register) → charge amplifier → voltage conversion.
