Apparent Motion and Visible-Band Motion

-The Basis of Signal Processing of Visual Perception-

Abstract

Sampled motion in TV and movies, e.g., has been considered to be apparent motion (AM) . Here in this paper, it is emphasized that these two motions are completely different, and the former is named "visible-band motion (VBM) ". In the VBM, real motion components exist in the visible-band in the spatio-temporal frequency domain, while the AM may be due to brain's higher functions. Hence, these two should be studied as complete different phenomena for the future expansion.
