This research examined the effects of motion expectations on memory for static pictures. The central hypothesis was that as implied motion for a picture increases, memory distortions will also increase in the direction of implied motion. A secondary hypothesis predicted that people will find pictures with increased implied motion more interesting than pictures with less implied motion. Experime...

In this work, the motion parameters of the bi-directionally predicted pictures (B-pictures) of MPEG-1,2 are exploited for concealment of large portions of corrupted anchor pictures that might arise due to channel errors or packet losses. To further enhance the quality of the concealed anchor pictures, we propose two methods of constraining the motion vectors of the B-pictures that strengthen th...

Due to its mechanical nature motion picture film has to cope with inaccuracies in positioning the single image in the moment of exposure, projection and scanning. This is the reason for steadiness errors that manifest in a jitter of the whole image. This jitter is not limited to translations but may also include rotational and shearing motion components. The amplitude of these erroneous movemen...

The effect of height in the picture plane on the remembered location of ascending or descending targets was examined. Consistent with previous research, memory was displaced forward in the direction of motion. The magnitude of forward displacement was larger for targets low in the picture plane than for targets high in the picture plane, and this was observed with ascending motion and with desc...
