Title
Representational Levels for the Perception of the Courses of Motion
Abstract
The problem of representation and processing of motion information is addressed from an integrated perspective covering the range from early visual processing to higher-level cognitive aspects. A spatio-temporal memory is presented as indispensible representational prerequisite for the recognition of spatiotemporal gestalt. We assume that this structure is replicated on different processing-levels in the visual system mirroring its hierarchical structure. Thus, each level requires a different representation for spatio-temporal information. As a first step, we present a two-layered architecture for the qualitative representation of motion trajectories: The vectorial layer is quite accurate and allows switches between deictic and intrinsic frame of reference. The propositional layer is more abstract and reveals similarities and regularities of motion paths which will be useful for motion prediction. First psychophysical experiments indicate that information about direction and position are not stored independently but mereley in form of a spatio-temporal compound.
