Bio-Inspired System Enhances Camera Color Accuracy MELBOURNE, Australia, Aug. 21, 2017 — Research into the way honeybees see color could provide insight into how to improve color accuracy in cameras used in outdoor environments. “For a digital system like a camera or a robot the color of objects often changes. Currently this problem is dealt with by assuming the world is, on average, gray,” said RMIT professor Adrian Dyer. “This means it’s difficult to identify the true color of ripe fruit or mineral rich sands, limiting outdoor color imaging solutions
