Ojos alienígenas en la Tierra: lo que la visión de los insectos puede enseñar a la astrobiología
Palabras clave:
Visión por computadora, biomímesis, exoplanetas, BiofirmasResumen
La exploración de exoplanetas presenta desafíos tanto únicos como interesantes para la identificación de biofirmas específicamente en espectros lumínicos que el ojo humano no detecta. Este artículo explora cómo el ojo compuesto de los insectos ofrece un modelo biológico modelable y replicable para la exploración espacial, gracias a los avances en visión por computadora y redes neuronales. La idea es procesar la información proveniente de los espectros de luz ultravioleta y polarizada, para traducirlos en algoritmos de navegación útiles para los rovers. Se propone que la arquitectura visual de los insectos no solo sería una herramienta práctica, sino un marco conceptual para entender cómo formas de vida extraterrestre podrían percibir su entorno bajo diferentes condiciones que afecten el espectro de luz, ya sea radiaciones estelares extremas, atmósferas densas o la oscuridad absoluta.
