An insect's response time to visual stimuli generally surpasses that of current autonomous machine vision systems with more complicated hardware. One hypothesis that we have considered is that insects’ extraordinary flight and navigation capabilities involve optical preprocessing from self-assembled, diffractive corneal optics. This paradigm parallels recent research in hybrid computer vision, which is of interest due to the growing computational costs of deep-learning-based image processing. Here, we summarize our research and motivation on fly-inspired diffractive optical encoding with conducting-polymer self-assembled polarimetric thin-film encoders. We emphasize the role of defects and vortex phase encoding and analyze the dipole scattering efficiency from nanofibrous structures.
