abstract：:The approach of an object can be monitored from its optic flow. More specifically, it has been postulated that time-to-collision at constant velocity is perceived by relating visual angle theta to its rate of change theta, time-to-collision being theta/theta. This hypothesis is reappraised, and an alternative based on...
