Rotation invariant visual processing for spatial memory in insects
Visual memory is crucial to navigation in many animals, including insects. Here, we focus on
the problem of visual homing, that is, using comparison of the view at a current location with …

J Stankiewicz, B Webb - Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Insect visual navigation is often assumed to depend on panoramic views of the horizon, and
how these change as the animal moves. However, it is known that honey bees can visually …
