Head Movements for Depth Perception: Praying Mantis versus Pigeon
Inspired by the abilities of both the praying mantis and the pigeon to judge distance by use of motionbased visually mediated odometry, we create miniature models for depth estimation that are similar to the head movements of these animals. We develop mathematical models of the praying mantis and pigeon visual behavior and describe our implementations and experimental environment. We investigat...
متن کاملThe mantis head camera (why the praying mantis is so good at catching its prey)
Inspired by the abilities of the praying mantis to judge distance to its prey before the strike by use of motion-based visually mediated odometry, we create miniature model for depth estimation that are similar to the head movements of the Praying Mantis. We develop mathematical models of the praying mantis behavior and describe our implementations and experimental environment. We investigate s...
متن کاملBinocular Spatial Localization in the Praying Mantis
The way in which mantids localize the direction and the distance of their prey has been analysed, to clarify the importance of binocular interactions. The results suggest the following major points: 1. Binocular interactions coordinate monocular directional information, such that the direction in which a mantid fixates its prey is intermediate between the image directions in the two eyes (Figs ...
متن کاملVisual Distance Discrimination between Stationary Targets in Praying Mantis: an Index of the Use of Motion Parallax
1. When larvae of the praying mantis Polyspilota sp. and Tenodera sinensis want to leave an exposed position and can choose to move between stationary objects at different distances, they usually choose the nearest. Their ability to select the nearest object is greatest when the background has horizontal stripes and is least when it has vertical stripes. Object preference is based on a successi...
متن کاملthe significance of conjunction as a cohesive device in teaching writing
the research questions were as follows: 1. is there any relationship between the students concious awareness of the form and implications of the conjuncations and their improvement in using appropriate conjunctions? 2. does students knowledge of the from and the implications of the conjunctions help them to produce more coherent writings. 3. does a comparison between english conjunctions and th...
