Computing heading in the presence of moving objects: a model that uses motion-opponent operators

  • Constance S. Royden
چکیده

Psychophysical experiments have shown that human heading judgments can be biased by the presence of moving objects. Here we present a theoretical argument that motion differences can account for the direction of bias seen in humans. We further examine the responses of a computer simulation of a model for computing heading that uses motion-opponent operators similar to cells in the primate middle temporal visual area. When moving objects are present, this model shows similar biases to those seen with humans, suggesting that such a model may underlie human heading computations.

Computational analyses for illusory transformations in the optic flow field and heading perception in the presence of moving objects

When we see a stimulus of a radial flow field (the target flow) overlapped with a lateral flow field or another radial flow field, the focus of expansion (FOE) of the target radial flow appears to be shifted in a direction. Royden and Conti [(2003). A model using MT-like motion-opponent operators explains an illusory transformation in the optic flow field. Vision Research, 43, 2811-2826] argued...

A model using MT-like motion-opponent operators explains an illusory transformation in the optic flow field

Previous studies have shown that a physiologically based model using motion-opponent operators to compute heading performs accurately for simulated observer translations. Here we show how this model can explain an illusory shift in the perceived focus of expansion of a radial flow field that occurs when a field of laterally moving dots is superimposed on a field of radially moving dots. Further...

Motion detection by a moving observer using Kalman filter and neural network in soccer robot

In many autonomous mobile applications, robots must be capable of analyzing motion of moving objects in their environment. Duringmovement of robot the quality of images is affected by quakes of camera which cause high errors in image processing outputs. In thispaper, we propose a novel method to effectively overcome this problem using Neural Networks and Kalman Filtering theory. Thistechnique u...

Human heading judgments in the presence of moving objects.

When moving toward a stationary scene, people judge their heading quite well from visual information alone. Much experimental and modeling work has been presented to analyze how people judge their heading for stationary scenes. However, in everyday life, we often move through scenes that contain moving objects. Most models have difficulty computing heading when moving objects are in the scene, ...

Investigation of Charged Particles Radiation Moving in a Homogeneous Dispersive Medium (TECHNICAL NOTE)

In this work, we use Drude-Lorents model description to study the radiation of a charged particles moving in a homogeneous dispersive medium. A suitable quantized electromagnetic field for such medium is utilized to obtain proper equations for energy loss of the particle per unit length. The energy loss is separately calculated for transverse and longitudinal components of the filed operators. ...
