Physiological Background. Some General Concepts. Combined First and Second Difference Edge Sensing. Fragmentary Flow Sensing. Edge Detection and Local Motion Sensing in the Presence of Random Noise. Image Sharpness. Image Processing. Inter-pixel noise. General Flow Field Analysis. Stereo. Multiple Scale Analysis. Combined First and Second Difference Edge Sensing. Absolute Motion and Stereo Disparity of Corners and Similar Features. Colour. Edge-based Region Analysis. Differential Texture Analysis. Practical Aspects and Applications. Whither now? Appendices: Theoretical Computation of DELX and DELR values from first differences of luminance Least Squares fitting of a sine wave to sampled sinusoidal data Progressive smoothing by recursive filtering on a 3 x 3 neighbourhood, and Profile synthesis and chain coding by recursive filtering Conditions for growth of perceptual boundaries and for bridging of gaps in the vicinity of junctions in fragmentary edge maps generated by VISIVE.
