Rapid, accurate and robust detection of looming objects in cluttered moving backgrounds is a significant and challenging problem for robotic visual systems to perform collision detection and avoidance tasks. Inspired by the neural circuit…
Discriminating targets moving against a cluttered background is a huge challenge, let alone detecting a target as small as one or a few pixels and tracking it in flight. In the fly's visual system, a class of specific neurons, called small…
Small target motion detection is critical for insects to search for and track mates or prey which always appear as small dim speckles in the visual field. A class of specific neurons, called small target motion detectors (STMDs), has been…
Feedback is crucial to motion perception in animals' visual systems where its spatial and temporal dynamics are often shaped by movement patterns of surrounding environments. However, such spatio-temporal feedback has not been deeply…
The ability to predict motion in real time is fundamental to many maneuvering activities in animals, particularly those critical for survival, such as attack and escape responses. Given its significance, it is no surprise that motion…
Filtering point targets in highly cluttered and noisy data frames can be very challenging, especially for complex target motions. Fixed motion models can fail to provide accurate predictions, while learning based algorithm can be difficult…
