Moore and Koch's multiplicative motion detector

 

Moore-Koch's multiplicative motion detector chip is just a variation of the Tanner-Mead's motion detector [Moore and Koch 91]. In the motion detector designed by Tanner the division operation required for dividing the spatial gradients, tex2html_wrap_inline7388 and tex2html_wrap_inline7390 , by the temporal gradient, tex2html_wrap_inline7392 has been implemented by a Gilbert multiplier in a feedback loop. In Moore-Koch's work the feedback loop has been opened and a multiplication of the temporal and spatial components of intensity is obtained instead. As the work doesn't contain more conceptual and practical information, details are referenced to [Moore and Koch 91]. Nonetheless, the design illustrates that even with completely different functions than what the optic flow theory suggests, still some motion information can be obtained.
