Whether it’s dazzling bright light or pitch black darkness, the human eye can adapt to extreme lighting conditions in a matter of minutes. The human visual system, including the eyes, neurons, and brain, also learns and remembers the environment to adapt faster the next time a similar lighting challenge is encountered.
According to foreign media reports, in an article published in the journal “Applied Physics Letters”, researchers at Fuzhou University in China invented a machine vision sensor that uses quantum dots to simulate the key behaviors of the human eye and can adapt to extreme light changes at a speed far exceeding the human eye (about 40 seconds). The research could revolutionize robotic vision and autonomous vehicle safety.
