For this task I thought long and hard about the types of vision and colour of eyes I wanted, the colours I would want is a little complex, I would have a completely blood red Iris while the border of the pupil having a touch of yellow starry rings, to give the looks of a soul that have been ravaged and in pain for centuries. I choose this for no particular reason other than personal preference.
Night Vision
I initially turned to night vision, initially this sounds nice, but after some thought on the basic principles of how night vision works, I decided against it for several reason.
1. Night vision passes light through a vacuum tube based device that converts the non-visible light to visible light through several other mechanisms like photocathode

While they cannot distinguish extremely fine differences in colours as humans can, which is a “Power hungry” brain function, comparative to the Mantis shrimp which has photoreceptors that detected different colours per receptor, which make colours processing faster and less “power hungry” on the brain, which in turn would allow for faster reaction time and processing of visuals and greater colour range, this would allow for a creature with said eyes, to be a fantastic predator, have ridiculously fast reflexes in regards to their vision, this in turn, I believe, would allow for more brain power to be usable for other functions. Some other features that the mantis shrimp have is that they have six rows of photo receptors, 3 groups of two rows each while each section focuses on different wavelengths three of the rows, one of each group from memory, which focuses on the exact same point which results in roughly %70 of the eye looking as the exact same spot, giving a singular eye the ability to perceive depth, they create images by constantly moving their eyes independently scanning the
Millions of Jews, gypsies, disabled, and Slavic people brutally died because of the Holocaust. Between Shades of Gray and Night both are daunting stories about people who had to go through the struggles of prejudice. These two novels have characters that are related in some aspects and distinct in others. The characters I find the most alike are Lina and Elie, Ona and Mrs. Schächter, and Elena and Shlomo. Lina and Elie are alike by loving and defending their families. Likewise, Ona and Mrs. Schächter are alike by how they react to the harsh events. Finally, Elena and Shlomo are alike by being strong in a time of crisis. These character’s traits are slightly different, but mostly alike.
Dog’s vision and their eyes structure are enormous difference than human beings. Although, dogs could only acquaint limited colors, majority of their vision abilities did not be affected. In Miller and Murphy’s study (2002), they mentioned that dogs only have two types of cones which performed a color identification as a primary task. One of the cone cells could receive light wave
“Lights. Camera. Action.” The New York City based photographer and director, Joey Lawrence has been making a living since the age of 15 as a photographer with a mission. His mission is to spread and inspire creativity throughout the generations, by a push of his finger on his handy Canon EOS 5D whenever the moment is right or “interesting”, as he always says. I chose Joey because of the spunk and confidence he displays with his work and how he gave it his all even at the young age of 15. He has inspired me to go for my dreams even when everyone else finds it too astonishing to be able to come true, and because of that I want to find out more about him and share it with other people to help carry out his mission.
...omated detection of lines and points in the images and the use of smart markers in reference video recordings.
The cuttlefish is thought provoking and interesting. This cephalopod possesses unique traits that the committee found perfect for the role. Despite the name, the cuttlefish is actually a mollusk related to squids. They have "W" shaped pupils, are colorblind, but also can sense the polarization of light. Although colorblind, cuttlefish still hold the ability to camouflage with brilliant colors and textures,
The letter does serve as a good introduction to the rest of the paper. The mantis shrimp states very clearly that it is concerned with its complex color vision. However, the mention of research makes it too detail. The “A different form of color vision in Mantis shrimp” study should be mentioned in the response.
Their eyes track the movement of objects through something called an Optokinetic Pursuit system (Sandeman and Atwood 1982). This is a type of reflex that allows the organism to translate other animals’ movement through a series of controllable stimuli, also allowing it to determine what direction those animals are going in as well as how fast (Sandeman and Atwood 1982). This way, they can move around in the dark and take advantage of the fact that their predators, which include many species of fish and Gray whales, cannot actually see in the dark and prevent themselves from being
The mantis shrimp can perceive both polarized light and multispectral images; they have the most complex eyes in the animal kingdom. Human eyes have color receptors for three colors (red, green, and blue); the mantis shrimp has receptors for sixteen types of color, enabling them to see a spectrum far beyond the capacity of the human brain. Seriously, how cool is the mantis shrimp? What might they be able to see that we cannot? What are we missing?
An octopus has three hearts that pump blue-green blood around its body, using a copper- rather than iron-based carrier for oxygen. Its eight tentacles are covered in suckers that enable it to amble, probe and manipulate with great dexterity. When in danger or enraged, it can switch to jet propulsion, and if danger persists it can eject an ink cloud of confusion and darkness. An octopus has few hard body parts (beak and eyes only), making its body infinitely malleable. It can thread itself through a hole not much larger than the diameter of its eyeball.Most cephalopods are active hunters that seek prey (crabs and other molluscs, mostly) in full view of potential predators. Here their soft and tasty bodies are a liability. To counter this vulnerability, evolution has produced the most expert shape-shifters in the animal kingdom. Cephalopods are the ultimate color-changers, able to match their backgrounds in an instant so perfectly that even a keen observer can lose them. As invisibility cloaks go, theirs are close to perfect. Cephalopod skin is like a pixelated video screen. The top layer contains tens of thousands of tiny pockets of three different colors that can be opened and closed at will to display bright reds, yellows, browns or other shades, depending on the palette a particular species has. Below them lies a layer of reflective cells that interacts with stacked plates to create iridescence. Underneath them is another reflective layer to bounce back incoming light.Cephalopod skin patterns are no mere color-matching trick. They are capable of scintillating moving displays, flashing pulses of color like passing clouds, forking silver lighting or shimmering waves from a stone thrown into a pool. Cuttlefish can play two screens at once on their bodies, sending signals to entice a possible mate from one side and
Technology is changing the world as we know it. We are able to travel the entire world in just a couple of days. People are able to send emails and texts to communicate over hundreds and thousands of miles. Doctors and specialists are able to connect with their patients electronically and surgeons are able to keep a heart beating normally by using a pacemaker. Technology is generally created to make the world a better place. Technology means the use of science in an industry, engineering, etc., to invent useful things and/or to solve problems. That being said, technology should be a reasonable price and that is definitely not the case for night vision scopes. These scopes cost from about $600-$1200. Night vision scopes can be used for
The sensor, in this case, can be a camera whereas the marker can be something as simple as a QR code. For example, a QR code sticker can be put on the hood of a car which will allow you to see a virtual hood on the car when you see it through the camera.
To me, looking close and deep into one's eyes is the easiest way to see who they really are. For this photo, I used diopters in order to get a close-up shot of an eye, which I then placed a photo of someone having a mental breakdown in the iris along with sticky notes that say 'be better’ on them. This represents how I feel like there is a constant reminder that I must be better. In addition, the obliques of the sticky notes add a feeling of confusion and disorientation to the photo. Despite the uncertainty that the obliques add, though, the eye still appears calm and unworried. In addition, to draw attention to the pupil, I have used a large aperture to create a narrow depth of field.
Their proficiency with their heightened sound and smell senses gives them an advanced system of recognizing whether prey or danger is approaching, determining if danger is imminent, or guiding them to their prey. To enhance their underwater visual capacity, a protective membrane covers their eye, and the iris of the eye achieves optimal night vision. They learn to avoid constant threatening situations by navigating new routes after a single encounter, which has prevented numerous attempts of their capture by human
Admit it, night vision is an ability that we would all enjoy having. Who would not want to be able to see the world at night without the use of fancy instrumentation, like night-vision goggles?
The first step is to transform the signal from analog to digital, if the camera itself is not digital already. The data is then processed and based on the results certain actions are taken. The processing occurs in the camera itself, if required hardware for this is built in, or the data is sent to a computer.
