Abstract

We investigated whether human could perceive the heading direction from the optic flow made from random dots and real images simulating the motion of the observer and objects. When an object moves across the focus of expansion(FOE) in random dot simulation. the observer perceived the focus of expansion biased toward the motion direction of the object. supporting the hypothesis that the direction repulsion is produced between the expansional and the horizontal planar motion components. With real image display observers tended to perceive one's heading direction biased toward the c center of the scene regardless of the direction and position of moving 0bcts. And it was observed that the deeper the depth of the background was the larger the judgment error was. These results suggest it is more likely that human depends on different cues than the optic flow when they perceive or judge one's heading direction in the real environment.

무선 점과 실제 영상으로 관찰자와 물체의 움직임을 모사 하여, 사람들이 광학적 흐름으로부터 자신의 운동 진행방향을 지각할 수 있는지를 조사하였다. 무선 점 자극으로 물체가 확산 점(FOE)을 가로질러 이동하도록 모사 하였을 때에는 관찰자가 물체의 운동 방향으로 편향하여 확산 점을 지각함으로써 확장 운동과 수평운동 요소간에 방향 밀침이 발생한다는 가설을 지지하는 결과를 얻었다. 실제 영상 자극에서는 무선 점 자극과 달리 물체의 운동 방향이나 위치에 관계없이 관찰자가 자신의 진행 방향을 장면의 중앙으로 편향하여 지각하려는 경향이 발견되었으며, 배경의 깊이나 얕은 조건보다 깊은 조건에서 확산 점 판단 오류가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과는 실제 환경에서 사람들은 자신의 진행 방향을 지각하거나 결정하는데 있어 광학적 흐름보다는 다른 단서들에 의존할 가능성이 크다는 것을 시사한다.
