Publisher's Synopsis
In recent years active vision has become a topic of increasing interest for those working in two of the main branches of vision research: computer vision and insect vision. It has become apparent that the two groups have much to learn from each other, but communication between them has not been easy. Contributions from these two areas of research are brought together in this volume, which contains papers and discussion by specialists working on moving vehicles and flow fields and by those concerned with low-level natural visual systems as exemplified by insects. The volume will thus help to provide a new synthesis and suggest possible new directions for future research. These papers were presented at a Royal Society Discussion Meeting in March 1992.
