Computer Vision Toolbox for Insect Vision

This version has been created as support for the article:

Gkanias E., Risse B., Mangan M., and Webb B. (2019) From skylight input to behavioural output: a computational model of the insect polarised light compass. PLOS Computational Biology.

To be able to run all the experiments and replicate the results presented in the article, the compmodels package is needed. If you don't have access to this package, please contact the authors.

Clone both repositories and set the compmodels as a dependence to the insectvision package.

To see the results, it is not necessary to run the code. By simply opening the notebooks/plos.ipynb file, the plots should be automatically generated for you to observe them.

To create the plots by yourself, you need to start a Jupyter notebook kernel at the root of the package. Then run the notebooks/plos.ipynb file, which already contains all the plots and the respective code to replicate them. Some plots (especially the ones related to the global optimisation) may need a long time to run; this does not mean that they do not work.

All the code has been implemented by Evripidis Gkanias.
