The paper is dealing in its first part with a system-theoretical approach for the decomposition of multi-input systems into the sum of simpler systems. By this approach the algorithm for the computations underlying the extraction of motion information from the optical environment by biological movement detectors is analysed. In the second part it concentrates on a specific model for motion computation known to be realized by the visual system of insects and of man. These motion detectors provide the visual system with information on both, velocity and structural properties of a moving pattern. The last part of the paper deals with the functional properties of two-dimensional arrays of movement detectors. They 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总和。通过这种方法，分析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算法。第二部分着重于一种已知由昆虫和人类视觉系统实现的特定运动计算模型。这些运动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。本文的最后一部分讨论了运动探测器二维阵列的功能特性。对它们进行了分析，并讨论了它们与有意义的生理反应之间的关系。
