Flying fruit flies correct for visual sideslip depending on relative speed of forward optic flow
As a fly flies through its environment, static objects produce moving images on its retina, and this optic flow is essential for steering and course corrections. Different types of rotation and translation produce unique flow fields, which fly brains are wired to identify. However, a feature of optic flow unique to translational motion is that adjacent images may move across the retina at diffe...
متن کاملEstimating Orientation of Flying Fruit Flies
The recently growing interest in studying flight behaviours of fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster, has highlighted the need for developing tools that acquire quantitative motion data. Despite recent advance of video tracking systems, acquiring a flying fly's orientation remains a challenge for these tools. In this paper, we present a novel method for estimating individual flying fly's orienta...
متن کاملOptic flow induces spatial filtering in fruit flies
The discrete and random nature of light absorption dictates that, when photons are scarce, images suffer from low signal-to-noise ratios [1]. Nocturnal animals combat this by increasing photon catch, either optically, with large pupils, photoreceptors, and ever larger eyes [2], or neurally, with summation strategies, which sacrifice acuity and leave images blurry and slow [3]. Fast image motion...
متن کاملA model of visual-olfactory integration for odour localisation in free-flying fruit flies.
Flying fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) locate a concealed appetitive odour source most accurately in environments containing vertical visual contrasts. To investigate how visuomotor and olfactory responses may be integrated, we examine the free-flight behaviour of flies in three visual conditions, with and without food odour present. While odour localisation is facilitated by uniformly di...
