Extraction of Higher Order Derivatives of the Optical Velocity Vector Field: Limitations Imposed By Biological Hardware

In the past two decades there has been an increasing awareness of the biological importance of optical flow fields. This work has proceeded along three rather distinct paths: theoretical, psychophysical and physiological.
