Static antennae act as locomotory guides that compensate for visual motion blur in a diurnal, keen-eyed predator.
High visual acuity allows parallel processing of distant environmental features, but only when photons are abundant enough. Diurnal tiger beetles (Carabidae: Cicindelinae) have acute vision for insects and visually pursue prey in open, flat habitats. Their fast running speed causes motion blur that degrades visual contrast, forces stop-and-go pursuit and potentially impairs obstacle detection. ...
متن کاملMotion blur and motion sharpening in the human visual system
The effect of motion sharpening upon blur discrimination thresholds was examined for a range of speeds and blur widths. Blur discrimination thresholds were measured for drifting edges whose blur was either physically or perceptually constant. Under conditions where edges were kept at a constant physical blur width, discrimination thresholds rose as a function of speed as previously reported. Ho...
متن کاملVisual Motion Estimation based on Motion Blur Interpretation
When the relative velocity between the di erent objects in a scene and the camera is relative large { compared with the camera's exposure time { in the resulting image we have a distortion called motion blur. In the past, a lot of algorithms have been proposed for estimating the relative velocity from one or, most of the time, more images. The motion blur is generally considered an extra source...
متن کاملExploring with damaged antennae: do crayfish compensate for injuries?
Appendages are important sources of sensory information for all animals that possess them but they are commonly damaged in nature. We describe how the tactile system of the crayfish Cherax destructor functioned when subjected to the kind of damage found in wild-caught or cultured animals. Touch information was methodically varied by the removal of antennae and chelae. The resulting behaviour wa...
متن کاملCan perceptual learning compensate for optical image blur?
Tests of target recognition under blur mostly fail to separate factors of resolution and contrast from the influences of pure blur, i.e., shallow luminance edge gradients. In experiments designed to single out blur, patterns of fixed size were convolved with a Gaussian spread function whose parameter was the variable. In addition, contrast invariance was ensured. The spread parameter was varied...
