This comprehensively updated and expanded revision of the successful second edition
continues to provide detailed coverage of the ever-growing range of research topics in …

Sighted animals extract motion information from visual scenes by processing spatiotemporal
patterns of light falling on the retina. The dominant models for motion estimation exploit …

Extraction of motion from visual input plays an important role in many visual tasks, such as
separation of figure from ground and navigation through space. Several kinds of local …

Intuitively, extrapolating object trajectories should make visual tracking more accurate. This
has proven to be true in many contexts that involve tracking a single item. But surprisingly …

Object tracking is an active research area nowadays due to its importance in human
computer interface, teleconferencing and video surveillance. However, reliable tracking of …

Motion detection is a fundamental property of the visual system. The gold standard for
studying and understanding this function is the motion energy model. This computational …

The visual system is the most studied part of the cortex, providing a basis for understanding
not only visual processing per se but also the fundamental operations of the brain in …

This paper presents an initial exploration of the plausibility of incorporating subtle motions
as a useful modality for encoding (or augmenting the encoding of) data for information …

In a bowling alley, a professional player launches his ball down the lane. As the ball rolls
toward the pins, our visual experience of it is smooth and seamless. The ball shifts in …

As an object rotates, each location on the object moves with an instantaneous linear
velocity, dependent upon its distance from the center of rotation, whereas the object as a …
