  • Title: Perceiving curvilinear heading in the presence of moving objects.
    Author: Fajen BR, Kim NG.
    Journal: J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform; 2002 Oct; 28(5):1100-19. PubMed ID: 12421058.
    Abstract:
    Four experiments were directed at understanding the influence of multiple moving objects on curvilinear (i.e., circular and elliptical) heading perception. Displays simulated observer movement over a ground plane in the presence of moving objects depicted as transparent, opaque, or black cubes. Objects either moved parallel to or intersected the observer's path and either retreated from or approached the moving observer. Heading judgments were accurate and consistent across all conditions. The significance of these results for computational models of heading perception and for information in the global optic flow field about observer and object motion is discussed.
