Fourier Vision Segmentation and Velocity Measurement using the Fourier Transform / by David Vernon.

Fourier Vision provides a new treatment of figure-ground segmentation in scenes comprising transparent, translucent, or opaque objects. Exploiting the relative motion between figure and ground, this technique deals explicitly with the separation of additive signals and makes no assumptions about the...
