Abstract

To determine how the human visual system estimates three-dimensional (3D) scene structure from retinal motion. The approach will combine two techniques: psychophysical experimentation in which observers will be required to make perceptual judgements about computer-simulated 3D scenes; and computational modelling of these data using Bayesian statistics. The project will focus on two key questions. First, how accurately are the image motions from a 3D scene measured, integrated and represented by the visual system? Second, how do prior assumptions about the visual world influence the perceived scene? The findings will have important implications for neuroscience regarding 3D vision and the interaction between perception and learning.
