Jhdw. Westerink et K. Teunissen, DISINTEGRATION OF IMAGES MOVING AT HIGH VELOCITIES, International journal of imaging systems and technology, 7(2), 1996, pp. 92-96
This article investigates the effect of spatial disintegration in movi
ng images at high object velocities: when the visual system interprets
the same object in consecutive fields as different entities. For a 50
-Hz display this effect is found to roughly occur in the velocity rang
e of 20-45 degrees/s, and to depend marginally on the resolution level
of the objects involved. A more important influence is that of the tr
ajectory length of the object: the maximum velocity at which no disint
egration occurs is found to depend on it in a linear fashion. A simple
model is presented that describes the visual appearance of the disint
egration effect as well as explains the data quantitatively. (C) 1996
