The structure of the superposition compound eye is relatively complicated
therefore the si mulation and analysis process are very difficult
and this has been the bottleneck problem in the artificial superposition compound eye development. In this paper
a new method to simulate and analyze the superposition compound eye simply and easily was put forward. The effect of the different ommatidial on the power received by the rhabdom can be analyzed by analyzing the effect of the different rays focused by one ommatidial on the power received by the different rhabdoms. In this way
a great deal of ommatidia’s 3D coordinators calculation can be avoided
so the modeling process is become much simpler. A simulation of an superposition compound eye was completed by this method in the ZEMAX software. From the result
it has been proved that the simulation and analysis completed by this method is accurate.
