Perceptual Strategies of Pigeons to Detect a Rotational Centre—A Hint for Star Compass Learning?

Bianca Alert, Andreas Michalik, Sascha Helduser, Henrik Mouritsen, Onur Güntürkün, Eric James Warrant
2015 PLoS ONE  
Here, we use operant conditioning to demonstrate that homing pigeons can principally learn to detect a rotational centre in a rotating dot pattern and we examine their behavioural response strategies in  ...  Initially, most pigeons applied a strategy based on local stimulus information such as movement characteristics of single dots. One pigeon seemed to immediately ignore eccentric stationary dots.  ...  Both velocity categorisation by local stimulus cues as well as coherent movement detection based on global information would be principally appropriate strategies to detect a rotational centre.  ...

Aircraft deconfliction with speed regulation: new models from mixed-integer optimization

Sonia Cafieri, Nicolas Durand
2013 Journal of Global Optimization  
We focus on mixed-integer optimization models based on speed regulation. We first solve the problem to global optimality by means of an exact solver.  ...  Detecting and solving aircraft conflicts, which occur when aircraft sharing the same airspace are too close to each other according to their predicted trajectories, is a crucial problem in Air Traffic  ...  Simple symmetry breaking constraint like q i ≤ q j ∀i, j ∈ A, i < j, (23) adjoined to the formulation, may help to speed up the resolution.  ...

Spatial-scale contribution to the detection of mirror symmetry in fractal noise

Stéphane J. M. Rainville, Frederick A. A. Kingdom
1999 Optical Society of America. Journal A: Optics, Image Science, and Vision  
We investigated how the detection of mirror symmetry depends on the distribution of contrast energy across spatial scales.  ...  While overall rms contrast remained fixed at 25%, symmetry-detection thresholds were obtained by corrupting the signal with variable amounts of noise with identical spectral characteristics.  ...  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors are grateful to David Field and Steve Dakin for their useful suggestions and comments on this study.  ...

2006 Perception & Psychophysics  
If vertical symmetry or horizontal symmetry were detected to perform the visual search task, axis orientation should have an effect on search efficiencies.  ...  target might be found as a failure to detect symmetry. If the observers did not keep their attentional set for asymmetry per se, did they try to detect vertical symmetry or symmetry in general?  ...  To evaluate any effect of order, such as that from practice, we compared the mean RTs for the first half of the trials with those for the latter half of the trials for each search conditions in Experiments  ...
