A physiological theory of depth perception from vertical disparity
It has been known since the time of Helmholtz that vertical differences between the two retinal images can generate depth perception. Although many ecologically and geometrically inspired theories have been proposed, the neural mechanisms underlying the phenomenon remain elusive. Here we propose a new theory for depth perception from vertical disparity based on the oriented binocular receptive ...
متن کاملStereoscopic Depth Perception and Vertical Disparity Neural Mechanisms
The additivity assumption relates to the various stereo-disparity components in the vertical and horizontal meridians, each of which is assumed to be independent of the other, with the total disparity in each dimension being the linear sum of the separate components. Information about the position of the eyes provided by the corollary discharge leads to compensatory changes in the lateral genic...
متن کاملAdaptation to vertical disparity induced-depth: implications for disparity processing
Depth aftereffects produced by prolonged inspection of an object in depth can be mediated by monocular and binocular depth cues. The adapting mechanisms responsible for such effects have not yet been fully determined. Theories of binocular depth aftereffects typically posit a role of an adaptive horizontal disparity sensitive mechanism, implying multiple cue-specific mechanisms for depth aftere...

متن کاملDoes depth perception require vertical-disparity detectors? School of Biology and Psychology, Newcastle University, UK
Stereo depth perception depends on the fact that objects project to different positions in the two eyes. Because our eyes are offset horizontally, these retinal disparities are mainly horizontal, and horizontal disparity suffices to give an impression of depth. However, depending on eye position, there may also be small vertical disparities. These are significant because, given both vertical an...
