Scientists from the University of Western Australia were first confirmed by the help of a computer vision, as it created the illusion of voluminous forms of the patterns on the wings of some moths, which could be a part of their protective strategies. Published in İş Magazine Royal Community Interface Magazine (Jersi).
The object of the study was the green garden bucket of Eudocima Salaminia, common in Southeast Asia and Australia. Although their wings are completely flat, visual algorithms recognized three -dimensional forms such as a folded layer – the moths are looking at resting. According to scientists, such an illusion can protect the beetle from dayders, especially birds.
“Biologists have long suspected that animals can use color patterns to create visual deception, but it’s hard to prove it – because we don’t have access to the perception of other animals,” he said.
For the work, developed computer vision methods were generally used in unmanned cars and facial recognition systems. The algorithms that process the images of the moths were “deceived” with wings and created 3D reconstruction with only coloring.
This study opens a new direction in the visual camouflage work and can help to understand how evolution is not only predator, but also deceives the vision of computers. In the future, scientists plan to check whether similar effects have been observed in other animals – for example, in snakes or peacock birds where the color performs a demonstration function, not a camouflage.
