To get a movie like Toy Story 3 into 3D, animators create two versions of each frame, one from the perspective of each eye. This disparity is "3D" — essentially, your brain making up for the fact that you're getting two different perspectives of the same thing.

    Daily Mixed Visual Experience That Prevents Amblyopia in Cats Does Not Always Allow the Development of Good Binocular Depth Perception

    Journal of Vision (2009) 9(5):22, 1–7 http://journalofvision.org/9/5/22/ 1 Daily mixed visual experience that prevents amblyopia in cats does not always allow the development of good binocular depth perception Department of Psychology, Dalhousie University, Donald E. Mitchell Halifax, NS, Canada Department of Psychology, Dalhousie University, Jan Kennie Halifax, NS, Canada WT Centre for Neuroimaging, UCL Institute of Neurology, D. Samuel Schwarzkopf London, UK School of Biosciences, Cardiff University, Frank Sengpiel Cardiff, Wales, UK Kittens reared with mixed daily visual input that consists of episodes of normal (binocular) exposure followed by abnormal (monocular) exposure can develop normal visual acuity in both eyes if the length of the former exposure exceeds a critical amount. However, later studies of the tuning of cells in primary visual cortex of animals reared in this manner revealed that their responses to interocular differences in phase were not reliable suggesting that their binocular depth perception may not be normal. We examined this possibility in 3 kittens reared with mixed daily visual exposure (2 hrs binocular vision followed by 5 hrs monocular exposure) that allowed development of normal visual acuity in both eyes. Measurements made of the threshold differences in depth that could be perceived under monocular and binocular viewing revealed a 10-fold superiority of binocular over monocular depth thresholds in one animal while the depth thresholds of the other two animals were poor and there was no binocular superiority. Thus, there was evidence that only one animal possessed stereopsis while the other two were likely stereoblind. While 2 hrs of daily binocular vision protected against the development of amblyopia, the poor outcome with respect to stereopsis points to the need for additional measures to promote binocular vision.

    Recovery of 3-D Shape from Binocular Disparity and Structure from Motion

    Perception & Psychophysics /993. 54 (2). /57-J(B Recovery of 3-D shape from binocular disparity and structure from motion JAMES S. TI'ITLE The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio and MYRON L. BRAUNSTEIN University of California, Irvine, California Four experiments were conducted to examine the integration of depth information from binocular stereopsis and structure from motion (SFM), using stereograms simulating transparent cylindri­ cal objects. We found that the judged depth increased when either rotational or translational motion was added to a display, but the increase was greater for rotating (SFM) displays. Judged depth decreased as texture element density increased for static and translating stereo displays, but it stayed relatively constant for rotating displays. This result indicates that SFM may facili­ tate stereo processing by helping to resolve the stereo correspondence problem. Overall, the re­ sults from these experiments provide evidence for a cooperative relationship betweel\..SFM and binocular disparity in the recovery of 3-D relationships from 2-D images. These findings indicate that the processing of depth information from SFM and binocular disparity is not strictly modu­ lar, and thus theories of combining visual information that assume strong modularity or indepen­ dence cannot accurately characterize all instances of depth perception from multiple sources. Human observers can perceive the 3-D shape and orien­ tion, both sources of information (along with many others) tation in depth of objects in a natural environment with im­ occur together in the natural environment.

  • Stereopsis and Stereoblindness

    Stereopsis and Stereoblindness

    Exp. Brain Res. 10, 380-388 (1970) Stereopsis and Stereoblindness WHITMAN RICHARDS Department of Psychology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge (USA) Received December 20, 1969 Summary. Psychophysical tests reveal three classes of wide-field disparity detectors in man, responding respectively to crossed (near), uncrossed (far), and zero disparities. The probability of lacking one of these classes of detectors is about 30% which means that 2.7% of the population possess no wide-field stereopsis in one hemisphere. This small percentage corresponds to the probability of squint among adults, suggesting that fusional mechanisms might be disrupted when stereopsis is absent in one hemisphere. Key Words: Stereopsis -- Squint -- Depth perception -- Visual perception Stereopsis was discovered in 1838, when Wheatstone invented the stereoscope. By presenting separate images to each eye, a three dimensional impression could be obtained from two pictures that differed only in the relative horizontal disparities of the components of the picture. Because the impression of depth from the two combined disparate images is unique and clearly not present when viewing each picture alone, the disparity cue to distance is presumably processed and interpreted by the visual system (Ogle, 1962). This conjecture by the psychophysicists has received recent support from microelectrode recordings, which show that a sizeable portion of the binocular units in the visual cortex of the cat are sensitive to horizontal disparities (Barlow et al., 1967; Pettigrew et al., 1968a). Thus, as expected, there in fact appears to be a physiological basis for stereopsis that involves the analysis of spatially disparate retinal signals from each eye. Without such an analysing mechanism, man would be unable to detect horizontal binocular disparities and would be "stereoblind".

SARA RAPOSO Abstract (INDEPENDENT SCHOLAR , PORTUGAL ) Once the material of playful gatherings, stereoscop­ ic photographs of cities, the moon, landscapes and fashion scenes are now cherished collectors’ items that keep on inspiring new generations of enthusiasts. Nevertheless, for a stereoblind observer, a stereoscopic photograph will merely be two similar images placed side by side. The perspective created by stereoscop­ ic fusion can only be experienced by those who have binocular vision, or stereopsis. There are several caus­ es of a lack of stereopsis. They include eye disorders such as strabismus with double vision. Interestingly, stereoscopy can be used as a therapy for that con­ dition. This paper approaches this kind of therapy through the exploration of North American collections of stereoscopic charts that were used for diagnosis and training purposes until recently.

    Abstract Computer Vision in the Space of Light Rays

    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: COMPUTER VISION IN THE SPACE OF LIGHT RAYS: PLENOPTIC VIDEOGEOMETRY AND POLYDIOPTRIC CAMERA DESIGN Jan Neumann, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Yiannis Aloimonos Department of Computer Science Most of the cameras used in computer vision, computer graphics, and image process- ing applications are designed to capture images that are similar to the images we see with our eyes. This enables an easy interpretation of the visual information by a human ob- server. Nowadays though, more and more processing of visual information is done by computers. Thus, it is worth questioning if these human inspired “eyes” are the optimal choice for processing visual information using a machine. In this thesis I will describe how one can study problems in computer vision with- out reference to a specific camera model by studying the geometry and statistics of the space of light rays that surrounds us. The study of the geometry will allow us to deter- mine all the possible constraints that exist in the visual input and could be utilized if we had a perfect sensor. Since no perfect sensor exists we use signal processing techniques to examine how well the constraints between different sets of light rays can be exploited given a specific camera model. A camera is modeled as a spatio-temporal filter in the space of light rays which lets us express the image formation process in a function ap- proximation framework. This framework then allows us to relate the geometry of the imaging camera to the performance of the vision system with regard to the given task.

Abstract While 3D cinema is becoming increasingly established, little effort has fo- cused on the general problem of producing a 3D sound scene spatially coher- ent with the visual content of a stereoscopic-3D (s-3D) movie. The percep- tual relevance of such spatial audiovisual coherence is of significant interest. In this thesis, we investigate the possibility of adding spatially accurate sound rendering to regular s-3D cinema. Our goal is to provide a perceptually matched sound source at the position of every object producing sound in the visual scene. We examine and contribute to the understanding of the usefulness and the feasibility of this combination. By usefulness, we mean that the technology should positively contribute to the experience, and in particular to the storytelling. In order to carry out experiments proving the usefulness, it is necessary to have an appropriate s-3D movie and its corresponding 3D audio soundtrack. We first present the procedure followed to obtain this joint 3D video and audio content from an existing animated s-3D movie, problems encountered, and some of the solutions employed. Second, as s-3D cinema aims at providing the spectator with a strong impression of being part of the movie (sense of presence), we investigate the impact of the spatial rendering quality of the soundtrack on the reported sense of presence.

AN INVESTIGATION OF SOME FACTORS AFFECTING THE VARIABILITY OF THE MCCOLLOUGH EFFECT 1 by N.J. Lund, B.Sc., Wales Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the University of Keele Department of Communication and Neuroscience 1982 Dedication: To my parents, John and Cynthia Lund ABSTRACT A series of experiments are reported which have attempted to isolate some factors causing inter and intrasubject variability of the McCollough effect.* A number of such factors were found. 1. The initial strength of the OCCA is strongly influenced by sleep duration. Reduction of up to one third of a normal nights sleep caused a marked decrease in the aftereffect strength. Sleep periods of under a third of normal were found to have no further effect. Decay rates were not affected by prior sleep duration. 2. Both the strength and decay of the McCollough effect undergo diurnal changes late in the evening. These changes were linked with the sleep cycle and evidence is presented indicating that the effect of the time of day upon the initial strength may be linked with the effect of sleep duration.

    Stereopsis by a Neural Network Which Learns the Constraints

    Stereopsis by a Neural Network Which Learns the Constraints Alireza Khotanzad and Ying-Wung Lee Image Processing and Analysis Laboratory Electrical Engineering Department Southern Methodist University Dallas, Texas 75275 Abstract This paper presents a neural network (NN) approach to the problem of stereopsis. The correspondence problem (finding the correct matches between the pixels of the epipolar lines of the stereo pair from amongst all the possible matches) is posed as a non-iterative many-to-one mapping. A two-layer feed forward NN architecture is developed to learn and code this nonlinear and complex mapping using the back-propagation learning rule and a training set. The important aspect of this technique is that none of the typical constraints such as uniqueness and continuity are explicitly imposed. All the applicable constraints are learned and internally coded by the NN enabling it to be more flexible and more accurate than the existing methods. The approach is successfully tested on several random­ dot stereograms. It is shown that the net can generalize its learned map­ ping to cases outside its training set. Advantages over the Marr-Poggio Algorithm are discussed and it is shown that the NN performance is supe­ rIOr. 1 INTRODUCTION Three-dimensional image processing is an indispensable property for any advanced computer vision system. Depth perception is an integral part of 3-d processing. It involves computation of the relative distances of the points seen in the 2-d images to the imaging device. There are several methods to obtain depth information. A common technique is stereo imaging. It uses two cameras displaced by a known distance to generate two images of the same scene taken from these two different viewpoints.
