Abstract
As we drive on the highway, walk down the street, or move around in the house, we make constant use of a complex perceptual mechanism: vision. In these situations, we rely on the visual system’s ability to process the perceived motion of the visual scene across the retina, termed optic flow, for our perception and estimates of self-motion. When self-motion is known, it is possible to identify obstacles and moving objects, determine time to collision, and the three-dimensional structure of the environment.
