Optimization Of Bio-inspired Hair Sensor Arrays

Crickets use a pair of hairy appendages on their abdomen called cerci, each of which contains numerous mechano-receptive filiform hairs (Fig. 1). These sensitive hairs can respond even to the slightest air movements, down to 0.03 mm/s, generated by the approaching predators and initiating an escape mechanism in the crickets [1]. Bio-mimicking the cricket cerci, arrays of artificial hair sensors...

Automated Scour Detection Arrays Using Bio-inspired Magnetostrictive Flow Sensors

Parallel Processing and Bio-inspired Computing for Biomedical Image Registration

Image Registration (IR) is an optimization problem computing optimal parameters of a geometric transform used to overlay one or more source images to a given model by maximizing a similarity measure. In this paper the use of bio-inspired optimization algorithms in image registration is analyzed. Results obtained by means of three different algorithms are compared: Bacterial Foraging Optimizatio...

Bio-inspired Visual Information Processing - The Neuromorphic Approach

This paper describes the bio-inspired visual information processing by neuromorphic system, mimicking the primitive behavior of visual cortex. The neuromorphic components are investigated for implementation of the visual signal selectivity of cortex, based on the CMOS conductance-based synaptic connections and neurons of Hodgkin-Huxley formalism. The proposed neuromorphic system exhibits the bi...
