A new method for recovery of heading from motion is developed on the basis of Longuet-Higgins and Prazdny's algorithm [Proc. R. Soc. London Ser. B 208, 385 (1980)]. In the algorithm a radial virtual flow field is generated and the difference between the original velocity field and the virtual radial field is computed. The difference vectors, which are directed to the heading point in the projec...

This paper describes the mathematical basis and application of a probabilistic model for recovering the direction of camera translation (heading) from optical flow. According to the theorem that heading cannot lie between two converging points in a stationary environment, one can compute the posterior probability distribution of heading across the image and choose the heading with maximum a pos...

CCT domain-containing genes generally control flowering in plants. Currently, only six of the 41 CCT family genes have been confirmed to control flowering in rice. To efficiently identify more heading date-related genes from the CCT family, we compared the positions of heading date QTLs and CCT genes and found that 25 CCT family genes were located in the QTL regions. Association mapping showed ...

In most models of heading from optic flow a rigid environment is assumed, yet humans often navigate in the presence of independently moving objects. Simple spatial pooling of the flow field would yield systematic heading errors. Alternatively, moving objects could be segmented on the basis of relative motion, dynamic occlusion, or inconsistency with the global flow, and heading determined from ...

Computer-generated sequences simulated observer movement toward 10 randomly placed poles, 1 moving and 9 stationary. When observers judged their direction of movement, or heading, they used 3 related invariants: The (a) convergence and (b) decelerating divergence of any 2 poles specified that heading was to the outside of the nearer pole, and the (c) crossover of 2 poles specified that heading ...

In the third paragraph of the Results and Discussion section under Study 2: Assessing the Adequacy of the New Self-Report Inventory, the reference should be ‘‘(see Table 1).’’ In the first paragraph of the Results and Discussion section of Study 3: Reliability, Validity and Correlates of the Self-Report Inventory, the second sentence should read: ‘‘As Table 2 shows, all scales possess good or v...

This paper studies self-organized flocking in a swarm of mobile robots. We present a mobile robot platform developed specifically for swarm robotic studies briefly describing its sensing and communication abilities. In particular, we describe a scalable method that allows the robots to sense the orientations of their neighbors using a digital compass and wireless communication. Then we propose ...

The ventral intraparietal area (VIP) of the macaque monkey brain is a multimodal area with visual, vestibular, somatosensory, and eye movement-related responses. The visual responses are strongly directional, and VIP neurons respond well to complex optic flow patterns similar to those found during self-motion. To test the hypothesis that visual responses in VIP directly contribute to the percep...

Heading (on all pages): running head plus page number Running head (a shortened version of the title is defined on the title page and used in the heading of your paper. Title, name and affiliation are centered. Heading is right justified. Running head is left justified.

This article illustrates preparation of ASME paper using LATEX2ε. An abstract for an ASME paper should be less than 150 words and is normally in italics. NOMENCLATURE A You may include nomenclature here. α There are two arguments for each entry of the nomemclature environment, the symbol and the definition. The spacing between abstract and the text heading is two line spaces. The primary text h...
