Abstract
The response of neurons of the visual system is much slower, by several orders of magnitude, than that of semiconductor devices. Frogs can, however, visually follow insects in real time and catch them. Such superior function is realized by a unique algorithm/architecture of visual systems of creatures, which provides engineers an important insight to develop a novel image processing systems.
