ABSTRACT
Motion is ubiquitous in normal, ecological, viewing conditions. Many objects in the environment are in motion. The motion of objects is supplemented by the motion of the observer’s body, head, and eyes. Therefore, ecological vision is highly dynamic and an understanding of biological vision requires an analysis of the implications of these aforementioned movements on the formation and processing of images. The dynamic nature of ecological vision was the cornerstone of several theories of visual perception, in particular the ecological perception theory [1]. This chapter will review some basic facts about ecological vision and discuss a neural model that offers a computational basis for the analysis of dynamic stimuli.
