the most current pursuit algorithms for moving targets which are presented so far in the literatureare pure pursuit and pure rendezvous navigations. recently, one of the present authors has introduced ageometric model for the pure pursuit navigation algorithm. here, in this paper, we study a new algorithm forthe pursuit navigation problem which is a combination of both of the above algorithms. ...

In this paper transitional speech segments modeling by matching pursuit is proposed. The dictionary for matching pursuit is composed of wavelet functions that implement of psychoacoustic adaptive wavelet filter bank. Psychoacoustically motivated entropy based cost functions allow to greatly minimizing a number of time-frequency atoms in wavelet packet (WP) dictionary. The given transient modeli...

Attention allocation during pursuit of a spot is usually characterized as asymmetric with more attention placed ahead of the target than behind it. However, attention is symmetrically allocated across larger pursuit stimuli. An unresolved issue is how tightly attention is constrained on large stimuli during pursuit. Although some work shows it is tightly locked to the fovea, other work shows it...

Smooth pursuit of natural objects requires flexible allocation of attention to inspect features. However, it has been reported that attention is focused at the fovea during pursuit. We ask here if foveal attention is obligatory during pursuit, or if it can be disengaged. Observers tracked a stimulus composed of a central dot surrounded by four others and identified one of the dots when it dimme...

Pursuit eye movements correlate with perceived motion in both velocity and direction, even without retinal motion. Cortical cells in the monkey medial temporal region generate signals for initiating pursuit eye movements and respond to retinal motion for perception. However, recent studies suggest multiple motion processes, fast and slow, even for low-level motion. Here we investigated whether ...

OBJECTIVES The ability to analyze patterns of recorded seizure activity is important in the localization and classification of seizures. Ictal evolution is typically a dynamic process with signals composed of multiple frequencies; this can limit or complicate methods of analysis. The recently-developed matching pursuit algorithm permits continuous time-frequency analyses, making it particularly...

When two overlapping, transparent surfaces move in different directions, there is ambiguity with respect to the depth ordering of the surfaces. Little is known about the surface features that are used to resolve this ambiguity. Here, we investigated the influence of different surface features on the perceived depth order and the direction of smooth pursuit eye movements. Surfaces containing mor...

Efficient encoding of motion residuals is essential for low-delay video applications in which videos are encoded by hybrid motion compensation and a residual encoding structure. Current standard video coding systems use hybrid motion compensation and the discrete cosine transform (DCT), where the number of bases needed to encode a residual block is the same as the number of the pixels in the bl...

The smooth pursuit system is usually studied using single moving objects as stimuli. However, the visual motion system can respond to stimuli that must be integrated spatially and temporally (Williams DG, Sekuler R. Vision Res 1984;24:55-62; Watamaniuk SNJ, Sekuler R, Williams DW. Vision Res 1989;29:47-59). For example, when each dot of a random-dot cinematogram (RDC) is assigned a new directio...
