A Biologically-Inspired Compound Eye Particle Detector Array

We propose a particle detector array that generalizes the biological compound eye of insects. We analyze the array´s statistical performance including Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) and mean-square angular error (MSAE). We optimally design the array configuration by minimizing the worst case performance bound. We propose two source direction estimators, and show that the performance bound is attainable by both asymptotically
