Looming Detection

Looming Detection is a neurocomputational mechanism within the visual motion processing system that selectively identifies and responds to expanding retinal stimuli indicative of an approaching object on a collision trajectory, distinguishing it from general motion detection by its specific sensitivity to radial optic flow patterns signaling imminent contact.
