The effects of electronic microscanning on infrared image aliasing and spaial resolution
… infrared electro-optical imaging systems utilize staring imagers to acquire image data. Typical staring focal plane arrays contain a two-dimensional array of photodetectors. Each photodetector generates an electrical current or charge proportional to the number of photons striking its immediate …

Gorilla Life-Stage Comparison of Head Orientation
Staring by primates, as well as other species of animals, can be perceived as a threat and averting that gaze can minimize potential conflict. Given that gorillas are highly sexually dimorphic, they may use this staring and gaze aversion strategy more than physical contact. Due to the shape of the …
