Statistics of optic flow for self-motion through natural scenes

چکیده
Image analysis in the visual system is well adapted to the statistics of natural scenes. Investigations of natural image statistics have so far mainly focused on static features. We present a method to investigate the statistics of natural optic flow fields related to self-motion within natural scenes and present first results of a statistical analysis.

Local statistics of retinal optic flow for self-motion through natural sceneries.
Image analysis in the visual system is well adapted to the statistics of natural scenes. Investigations of natural image statistics have so far mainly focused on static features. The present study is dedicated to the measurement and the analysis of the statistics of optic flow generated on the retina during locomotion through natural environments. Natural locomotion includes bouncing and swayin...
متن کاملVariation in the Local Motion Statistics of Real-Life Optic Flow Scenes
Optic flow motion patterns can be a rich source of information about our own movement and about the structure of the environment we are moving in. We investigate the information available to the brain under real operating conditions by analyzing video sequences generated by physically moving a camera through various typical human environments. We consider to what extent the motion signal maps g...
متن کاملLocal and global responses of insect motion detectors to the spatial structure of natural scenes.
As a consequence of the non-linear correlation mechanism underlying motion detection, the variability in local pattern structure and contrast inherent within natural scenes profoundly influences local motion responses. To accurately interpret optic flow induced by self-motion, neurons in many dipteran flies smooth this "pattern noise" by wide-field spatial integration. We investigated the role ...
متن کاملAn Efficient Encoding Scheme for Dynamic Visual Input Based on the Statistics of Natural Optic Flow
Statistically efficient processing schemes focus the resources of a signal processing system on the range of statistically probable signals. Relying on the statistical properties of retinal motion signals during ego-motion we propose a nonlinear processing scheme for retinal flow. It maximizes the mutual information between the visual input and its neural representation and distributes the proc...
متن کاملOptic Flow Dominates Visual Scene Polarity in Causing Adaptive Modification of Locomotor Trajectory
Locomotion and posture are influenced and controlled by vestibular, visual and somatosensory information. Optic flow and scene polarity are two characteristics of a visual scene that have been identified as being critical in how they affect perceived body orientation and self-motion. The goal of this study was to determine the role of optic flow and visual scene polarity on adaptive modificatio...
