Abstract
This paper describes the physics-based modeling of the second visual system, the ocelli, common to many species of flying insects. We perform high fidelity visual simulation to study its role in estimating angular velocities during flight. Development of a fully analog, bio-mimetic ocellar sensor is detailed.
