Outline

  • Computational model: Bayesian velocity estimator
  • Simple two-stage model implementation
  • Model response to plaid stimuli
  • Comparison to psychophysical data:
  • Ferrera & Wilson, 1990, 1991
  • Stone, Watson, Mulligan, 1990

  • Gradient measurement equation, with noise model:

Ix (v - n1)+ It + n2 = 0

  • Prior probability distribution on velocity:

P(v) ~ N(0, σv2)

  • Bayes' rule gives probability distribution on velocity:

Bayesian Velocity Estimator (σe2 +Ix2) (Ix v + It)2 σv2 v2 log P(v | I) ∝

+ Implementation: Stage 1

  • Linear filtering, using spatio-

temporally oriented operators

  • Energy computation (squaring)
  • Divisive normalization, with semi-

saturation parameter, σe

  • Outputs are spatio-temporally

tuned ÷ ÷

Implementation: Stage 2

  • Weighted summation of stage 1

energies over space, frequency bands

  • Some of the summations include

prior variance parameter, σv

  • Outputs are velocity tuned

Summary of Model

  • Derived as a Bayesian estimator
  • Starting from image intensities, computes response of

a population of velocity-tuned units

  • Implemented in two simple stages of computation
  • Velocity estimates are consistent with psychophysics
  • f plaid perception
