But mining all that data - a typical case can involve several terabytes of information - takes time, and usually requires specially trained officers. Backlogs can delay investigations for weeks. Not for much longer.

Researchers say the insect-inspired technology can provide full, 180-degree fields of view with no interpretive mistakes in image quality.
