Spatial Orientation from High Velocity Blur Patterns.

Abstract

This final report summarizes the results of eight investigations into human ability to detect and utilize the information found in blur patterns. These patterns of streaks formed by high speed motion are potentially useful orientation aids. In these studies considerable human sensitivity was demonstrated to the parameters of divergence, curvature, curvature change and divergence change. Six technical reports are cited which discuss these results in detail. (Author)
