The study of multiaperture vision systems (MAVS's), or insectlike systems, is still in its infancy. It is known that, for simple tasks, these systems provide an advantage over single-aperture systems in the reduction of processor complexity. Conventional spatial sampling and optical-modeling techniques, however, do not appear to describe the advantages of multiaperture systems accurately. In an attempt to describe the basic task of point-source response, or resolution, a surprising result is shown with regard to the overlapping field-of-view characteristic of a MAVS. Two types of five-eyelet multiaperture system, zoomed and nonzoomed, are shown to provide varying resolution as a function of eyelet overlap. A better-than-conventional point-source resolution for eyelets of uniform spatial response is exhibited by these systems. This characteristic holds for both uniform and normal target distributions.
多孔径视觉系统（MAVS）或类似昆虫的系统的研究仍处于起步阶段。众所周知，对于简单任务，这些系统在降低处理器复杂性方面比单孔径系统具有优势。然而，传统的空间采样和光学建模技术似乎无法准确描述多孔径系统的优势。为了描述点源响应或分辨率的基本任务，关于MAVS的重叠视场特性展示了一个惊人的结果。两种类型的五孔眼多孔径系统，即变焦和非变焦系统，被证明可根据孔眼重叠提供不同的分辨率。这些系统展现出比传统的具有均匀空间响应的孔眼更好的点源分辨率。这种特性对于均匀和正常目标分布均成立。
