科學(xué)家將一個(gè)微型攝像機(jī)綁在甲蟲身上，以檢測(cè)視頻技術(shù)能達(dá)到多小的程度

Researchers at the University of Washington in the US developed the technology to test the potential of miniature cameras. Their device weighs about 250 milligrams -- around one-tenth the weight of a playing card -- and streams video to a smartphone at one to five frxs per second.

美國華盛頓大學(xué)的研究人員開發(fā)這項(xiàng)技術(shù)來測(cè)試微型攝像機(jī)的能力。這款設(shè)備重約250毫克——大約是一張撲克牌重量的十分之一——以每秒1到5幀的速度向智能手機(jī)傳輸拍攝的視頻。

Sitting on a mechanical arm that can pivot 60 degrees, the camera allows a viewer to capture a high-resolution, panoramic shot or track a moving obxt. As well as recording everything an insect sees, it can be used as the "eyes" for small robots.

這款相機(jī)安裝在可以60度旋轉(zhuǎn)的機(jī)械臂上，可以讓觀眾捕捉到高分辨率的全景鏡頭，或者跟蹤移動(dòng)的物體。攝像頭除了可以記錄昆蟲看到的一切，它還可以作為小型機(jī)器人的“眼睛”。

But its development, which showed how recording devices could potentially shrink until virtually invisible, will raise concerns about privacy.

但這項(xiàng)研究表明，錄音攝像設(shè)備可以縮小到幾乎肉眼看不見，而這也將引起人們對(duì)個(gè)人隱私的擔(dān)憂。

"We have created a low-power, low-weight, wireless camera system that can capture a first-person view of what''s happening from an actual live insect or create vision for small robots," senior author Shyam Gollakota said in a statement.

資深作者希亞姆·格拉科塔在一份聲明中說:“我們發(fā)明了一種低功耗、低重量的無線攝像系統(tǒng)，它可以用第一人稱的視角捕捉到昆蟲身邊正在發(fā)生的事情，也可以為小型機(jī)器人創(chuàng)造視覺效果。”

"Vision is so important for communication and for navigation, but it''s extremely challenging to do it at such a small scale. As a result, prior to our work, wireless vision has not been possible for small robots or insects."

“視覺對(duì)于溝通和導(dǎo)航來說是非常重要的，但在如此小的范圍內(nèi)做到這一點(diǎn)是極具挑戰(zhàn)性的。因此，在我們做這項(xiàng)研究之前，無線視覺還不可能應(yīng)用于小型機(jī)器人或昆蟲上?！?/p>

The team''s research was published Wednesday in the journal Science Robotics.

該團(tuán)隊(duì)的研究成果發(fā)表在周三的《科學(xué)機(jī)器人》雜志上。

"One advantage to being able to move the camera is that you can get a wide-angle view of what''s happening without consuming a huge amount of power," co-lead author Vikram Iyer said.

“移動(dòng)攝像頭的一個(gè)好處是，你可以在不消耗大量電能的情況下獲得更廣泛的視角，”作者維克拉姆·艾耶說。

But the researchers also raised the prospect of covert surveillance that would be difficult for subjects to detect, and they acknowledged privacy concerns.

但研究人員也提出了秘密監(jiān)視的發(fā)展前景，這將很難被受監(jiān)視者察覺，因此他們承認(rèn)這種方式存在隱私方面的擔(dān)憂。

"There are so many questions you could explore, such as how does the beetle respond to different stimuli that it sees in the environment?" Iyer added. "But also, insects can traverse rocky environments, which is really challenging for robots to do at this scale. So this system can also help us out by letting us see or collect samples from hard-to-navigate spaces."

“還有很多問題可以探索，比如甲蟲對(duì)于在環(huán)境中看到的不同刺激點(diǎn)是如何反應(yīng)的?”艾耶說?！岸遥ハx可以在巖石環(huán)境中穿行，這對(duì)機(jī)器人來說是一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)。”所以這個(gè)系統(tǒng)也可以幫助我們，讓我們看到或收集通過機(jī)器人難以深入采集的空間中的樣本?！?/p>

Earlier attempts to produce innovative cameras have also sought to mimic the vision of insects.

最早創(chuàng)新生產(chǎn)的相機(jī)也試圖模仿昆蟲的視覺。

In 2013, researchers created a digital camera that imitates the bulging eyes of insects, specifically fire ants and bark beetles.

2013年，研究人員發(fā)明了一種數(shù)碼相機(jī)，模仿昆蟲凸出的眼睛，特別是火蟻和樹皮甲蟲。
