Motion, Form, and Mid-Level Vision: A Tutorial
Josh McDermott and Ted Adelson

This web site contains demos we have developed over the last five years in the course of studying the interactions between form and motion. Many are described in the papers listed below, and/or have been presented at conferences. If you have questions or comments about any of the demos, please send email to jhm@mit.edu.
