The first part of this paper deals with a system-theoretical approach for the decomposition of multi-input systems into the sum of simpler systems. This approach is applied here to analyse the algorithm which represents the computations underlying the extraction of motion information from the optical environment by biological movement detectors. The second part concentrates on a specific model for motion computation known to be realized by the visual system of insects and of man. These detectors provide the visual system with information on both the velocity and structural properties of a moving pattern. In the third part of this article the properties of two-dimensional arrays of movement detectors are analyzed and their relations to meaningful physiological responses are discussed.
本文的第一部分探讨了一种系统理论方法，用于将多输入系统分解为更简单系统的和。此处应用该方法来分析一种算法，该算法代表了生物运动探测器从光学环境中提取运动信息所依据的计算。第二部分专注于一种已知由昆虫和人类视觉系统实现的运动计算特定模型。这些探测器为视觉系统提供有关运动模式的速度和结构特性的信息。在本文的第三部分，分析了运动探测器二维阵列的特性，并讨论了它们与有意义的生理反应之间的关系。
