Locusts, which can consume their own weight in food each day, have a large neuron called the locust giant movement detector (LGMD) located behind their eyes. The LGMD releases bursts of energy whenever a locust is on a collision course with another locust or a predatory bird.
A few years ago Rind and her colleagues studied the activity of the LGMD as locusts watched action scenes from the movie Star Wars. The team found that the LGMD releases more energy when something is coming directly at the locust.
These spikes of energy, called action potentials, prompt the locusts to take evasive action. The entire process from motion detection to reaction takes about 45 milliseconds—or 45 thousandths of a second.
"Locusts, like most insects, can see many more images per second than we do. This means they can react in time to things that are approaching very rapidly and so make their escape before collision," Rind said.
The locusts’ ability to see many more images per second than humans gives them a remarkable view of the world. For humans, it would be like watching everything go by in slow motion, Rind added.
And because the insects only detect things that are on a collision course with them, the locusts are ignorant of all other movements. It’s a particularly useful trait, as the locusts travel in dense swarms akin to rush hour traffic.
"The LGMD system is complemented by the brain of the locust, which provides the necessary experience and knowledge to really react according to the situation," said Jorge Cuadri, a project engineer with Spain’s National Centre of Microelectronics. Cuadri is helping to develop the circuitry (电路装置) for the locust-inspired crash avoidance technology.
Cuadri and his colleagues are responsible for adapting the locust collision-avoidance system to the automotive environment.
Their adapted system is based on a single, integrated step that combines visual optics and electronics. The conventional way of doing this would involve two steps: First, a camera would capture the image. Second, a digital processor would analyze it.
The two-step approach, which uses radar images, is expensive and currently limited only to luxury cars, Rind said.
What kind of fields is covered when Cuadri adapts the locust collision-avoidance system to the automotive environment?
选项
A、Visual optics and electrics.
B、Electronics and visual optics.
C、Visual optics and electronics.
D、Physics and chemistry.
答案
C
解析
根据题干中的the locust collision-avoidance system to the automotive environment可快速定位至第8、9段。第9段首中的Their adapted system就是指代第8段中的collision-avoidance system,故由第9段首句可以直接得出答案为visual optics and electronics,即C。
