Accurate and efficient control of self-motion is an important requirement for our daily
behavior. Visual feedback about self-motion is provided by optic flow. Optic flow can be used …

There are nearly a million known species of flying insects and 13 000 species of flying warm-
blooded vertebrates, including mammals, birds and bats. While in flight, their wings not only …

SUBSTANTIAL evidence from animal studies suggests that enhanced memory associated
with emotional arousal results from an activation of β-adrenergic stress hormone systems …

This paper presents a nonlinear controller for a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL)
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that exploits a measurement optical flow to enable hover …

This paper addresses the landing problem of a vertical take-off and landing vehicle,
exemplified by a quadrotor, on a moving platform using image-based visual servo control …

Flying insects are able to fly smartly in an unpredictable environment. It has been found that
flying insects have smart neurons inside their tiny brains that are sensitive to visual motion …

HUMANS, animals and some mobile robots use visual motion cues for object detection and
navigation in structured surroundings1–4. Motion is commonly sensed by large arrays of …

Fly motion vision and resultant compensatory optomotor responses are a classic example
for neural computation. Here we review our current understanding of processing of optic flow …

Detecting the direction of image motion is a fundamental component of visual computation,
essential for survival of the animal. However, at the level of individual photoreceptors, the …

Many approaches have been proposed to solve the problem of finding the optic flow field of
an image sequence. Three major classes of optic flow computation techniques can …
