I Abstract Comfort viewing experience has been a permanent goal in stereoscopic research due to the development of 3D technologies. However, various parameters affect stereo vision perception. In this thesis, a series of physiological experiments have been carried out aiming at evaluating the 3D visual perception with respect to 3 of the most important factors: 3D display technology, viewing environments and motion-in-depth (MID) perception. First we measured vertical fusion amplitude (VFA) on 3D projectors and an autostereoscopic TV. VFA was chosen as an indicator for visual comfort due to our strong sensitivity to vertical disparity. Several factors have been tested (e.g. viewing distance, background luminance, crosstalk, viewing angle etc.). We compared observer performance on both 3D displays and concluded the tolerance for vertical disparity was better on 3D projector than on autostereoscopic TV. For the environment effect, we measured VFA on a 3D projector by varying the room lighting, 3D content complexity, disparity velocity. We assessed the interaction between central and peripheral fusion, by introducing a series of base-up prisms in front of one eye. We observed that the fusion balance of central and peripheral vision was broken when large peripheral disparities (>4 prism diopter) or stimulus sizes (central stimulus angle < 15°) were induced on the peripheral vision. Finally, we investigated the interaction between sensorial and oculomotor system for MID stimulation. Preliminary results indicated that the motion aftereffect generated by sensorial cue stimulus could be partially mitigated by oculomotor cue and that MID perception performance could be improved by specific trainings. We identified some critical factors for 3D content generation to enhance the MID perception, such as background texture, fixation object dot life time. II Résumé Le confort de visualisation a été un objectif permanent dans la recherche stéréoscopique en raison du développement des technologies 3D. Cependant, divers paramètres affectent la perception de la vision stéréo. Dans cette thèse, une série d'expériences physiologiques ont été menées visant à évaluer la perception visuelle 3D par rapport à 3 des facteurs les plus importants: la technologie d'affichage 3D, les environnements de visualisation et de mouvement en profondeur (MID). Nous avons d'abord mesuré l'amplitude de fusion verticale (VFA) sur les projecteurs 3D et une télévision autostéréoscopique. Le VFA a été choisi comme un indicateur pour le confort visuel en raison de notre forte sensibilité à la disparité verticale. Plusieurs facteurs ont été testés (e.g. distance d'observation, la luminance du fond, la diaphonie, l’angle de vue, etc.). Nous avons comparé les performances d'observateur sur les deux écrans 3D et conclu que la tolérance pour la disparité verticale était meilleure sur le projecteur 3D que sur la télévision autostéréoscopique. Pour l'impact de l'environnement sur la perception stéréo, nous avons mesuré le VFA sur un projecteur 3D en fonction de l'éclairage de la pièce, de la complexité du contenu 3D, de la vitesse de disparité. Nous avons évalué l'interaction entre la fusion centrale et périphérique, en introduisant une série de prismes en face d'un œil. Nous avons observé que l'équilibre de la fusion entre vision centrale et périphérique était rompu quand de grandes disparités périphériques (> 4 dioptries prismatiques) ou tailles de stimuli (angle central du stimulus < 15 °) étaient induites sur la vision périphérique. Enfin, nous avons étudié l'interaction entre le système sensoriel et oculomoteur en stimulation MID. Les premiers résultats indiquent que les post-effets générés par stimulation sensorielle pouvaient être partiellement atténués par des stimulations oculomotrices. Nous avons en outre identifié certains facteurs critiques pour la génération de contenu 3D pour améliorer la perception MID, comme la texture de fond, le temps de fixation objet et la durée de vie des random dots.

    Br J Ophthalmol: first published as 10.1136/bjo.58.3.281 on 1 March 1974. Downloaded from Brit. J. Ophthal. (I974) 58, 28 I Management of microtropia J. LANG Zirich, Switzerland Microtropia or microstrabismus may be briefly described as a manifest strabismus of less than 50 with harmonious anomalous correspondence. Three forms can be distinguished: primary constant, primary decompensating, and secondary. There are three situations in which the ophthalmologist may be confronted with micro- tropia: (i) Amblyopia without strabismus; (2) Hereditary and familial strabismus; (3) Residual strabismus after surgery. This may be called secondary microtropia, for everyone will admit that in most cases of convergent strabismus perfect parallelism and bifoveal fixation are not achieved even after expert treatment. Microtropia and similar conditions were not mentioned by such well-known early copyright. practitioners as Javal, Worth, Duane, and Bielschowsky. The views of Maddox (i898), that very small angles were extremely rare, and that the natural tendency to fusion was much too strong to allow small angles to exist, appear to be typical. The first to mention small residual angles was Pugh (I936), who wrote: "A patient with monocular squint who has been trained to have equal vision in each eye and full stereoscopic vision with good amplitude of fusion may in 3 months relapse into a slight deviation http://bjo.bmj.com/ in the weaker eye and the vision retrogresses". Similar observations of small residual angles have been made by Swan, Kirschberg, Jampolsky, Gittoes-Davis, Cashell, Lyle, Broadman, and Gortz. There has been much discussion in both the British Orthoptic Journal and the American Orthoptic journal on the cause of this condition and ways of avoiding it.

Eyesight while viewing stereoscopic Landolt ring images displayed on HMD was also studied. Accommodation to virtual objects was seen when subjects viewed stereoscopic images of 3D computer graphics, but not when the images were displayed without appropriate binocular parallax. This suggests that stereoscopic moving images on HMD induced visual accommodation. Accommodation should be adjusted to the position of virtual stereoscopic images induced by parallax. A difference in the distances of the focused display and stereoscopic image may cause visual load. However, an experiment showed that Landolt rings of almost the same size were distinguished regardless of virtual distance of 3D images if the parallax was not larger than the fusional upper limit.

C. •• l( I Introduction A fixation disparity is a small angular measurement of the mis­ alignment of the two eyes which can occur while still permitting single, fused binocular vision. It represents a small error in the aiming of the eyes which occurs without diplopia being detected. Fixation disparity is allowed because of the slight "slippage" pro­ vided to the fusional system through the existence of Panum's fusional areas. So long as binocular alignment is precise enough to place the two retinal images of a single object within corre­ sponding Panum's areas, the final perception is likely to be single and fused. Sensory fusion thus occurs in spite of a small error in motor fusion. A slight muscle imbalance is the rule, rather than the excep­ tion in individuals even with normal assymptomatic binocular systems. It is rare that all twelve extraocular muscles are precisely bal­ anced in their agonist-antagonist relationships, and thus the inate drive to achieve single vision requires a fusional effort to over­ come existing imbalance. When binocularity is dissociated (as with a covertest) the fusional drive is interrupted and the eyes deviate out of alignment under the influence of the muscle imbalance. This deviation under dissociation is referred to as the heterophoria. When both eyes are permitted to view without dissociative conditions the fusional drive to achieve single binocular vision pulls the eyes toward alignment in opposition to the phoric "stress" operating to deviate the alignment.

    Visual Secret Sharing Scheme with Autostereogram*

    Visual Secret Sharing Scheme with Autostereogram* Feng Yi, Daoshun Wang** and Yiqi Dai Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University, Beijing, 100084, China Abstract. Visual secret sharing scheme (VSSS) is a secret sharing method which decodes the secret by using the contrast ability of the human visual system. Autostereogram is a single two dimensional (2D) image which becomes a virtual three dimensional (3D) image when viewed with proper eye convergence or divergence. Combing the two technologies via human vision, this paper presents a new visual secret sharing scheme called (k, n)-VSSS with autostereogram. In the scheme, each of the shares is an autostereogram. Stacking any k shares, the secret image is recovered visually without any equipment, but no secret information is obtained with less than k shares. Keywords: visual secret sharing scheme; visual cryptography; autostereogram 1． Introduction In 1979, Blakely and Shamir[1-2] independently invented a secret sharing scheme to construct robust key management scheme. A secret sharing scheme is a method of sharing a secret among a group of participants. In 1994, Naor and Shamir[3] firstly introduced visual secret sharing * Supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 90304014) ** E-mail address: [email protected] (D.S.Wang) 1 scheme in Eurocrypt’94’’ and constructed (k, n)-threshold visual secret sharing scheme which conceals the original data in n images called shares. The original data can be recovered from the overlap of any at least k shares through the human vision without any knowledge of cryptography or cryptographic computations. With the development of the field, Droste[4] provided a new (k, n)-VSSS algorithm and introduced a model to construct the (n, n)-combinational threshold scheme.

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.
