色彩视觉的演化引人入胜,既揭示了灭绝物种的适应策略,也启发现代成像技术革新。本文提出一种简化的视网膜光转导模型,引入新型视蛋白层,通过特定视蛋白生成的彩色图像在机器视觉识别任务中的准确率来量化演化压力。基于此,我们开发了演化保守性优化算法,重构视蛋白光谱敏感度,实现突变驱动的适应性进化,以更有效地发现果实或捕食者。该模型可在GPU上数秒内浓缩数百万年演化过程,为进化生物学中长期未解假设提供实验框架,如早期哺乳动物视觉、灵长类三色视觉由基因复制而来、色盲保留机制、鱼类视杆细胞蓝移现象以及具有生物发光的多重视杆视蛋白。此外,模型支持对假想物种(如火星生物)的视觉适应性探索。研究结果表明,面向任务的相机滤镜设计可采用极简而高效的方法,优化光谱响应函数以满足应用需求。代码将在论文录用后公开。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The evolution of colour vision is captivating, as it reveals the adaptive strategies of extinct species while simultaneously inspiring innovations in modern imaging technology. In this study, we present a simplified model of visual transduction in the retina, introducing a novel opsin layer. We quantify evolutionary pressures by measuring machine vision recognition accuracy on colour images shaped by specific opsins. Building on this, we develop an evolutionary conservation optimisation algorithm to reconstruct the spectral sensitivity of opsins, enabling mutation-driven adaptations to to more effectively spot fruits or predators. This model condenses millions of years of evolution within seconds on GPU, providing an experimental framework to test long-standing hypotheses in evolutionary biology , such as vision of early mammals, primate trichromacy from gene duplication, retention of colour blindness, blue-shift of fish rod and multiple rod opsins with bioluminescence. Moreover, the model enables speculative explorations of hypothetical species, such as organisms with eyes adapted to the conditions on Mars. Our findings suggest a minimalist yet effective approach to task-specific camera filter design, optimising the spectral response function to meet application-driven demands. The code will be made publicly available upon acceptance.
