Reduced order multiport parallel and multidirectional neural associative memories.

abstract：:In the context of the models of structure from motion visual processing, we propose that the optic-flow field is a source of information for the perception of the curvature of a smooth surface in motion. In particular, it is shown how the spin variation (SV), a second spatial derivative of the retinal velocity field, ...
