Visible Information about Structure from Motion

Publisher Summary The purpose of this chapter is to examine how changing images constitute information for vision. The concept of information is critical to understanding the relationship between objects, images, and perceptions. Environments and objects are visible by virtue of the information their images contain. Differences among theories of perception usually stem from differing assumptions about the form of image information. The term information has become ubiquitous in psychology, but all too often the term has a little or no meaning or is even misleading. Before considering how information may be contained in changing images, it is useful to clarify the concept of information.
