The Interaction of Binocular Disparity and Motion Parallax in the Computation of Depth
نویسندگان
چکیده
Depth from binocular disparity and motion parallax has traditionally been assumed to be the product of separate and independent processes. We report two experiments which used classical psychophysical paradigms to test this assumption. The first tested whether there was an elevation in the thresholds for detecting the 3D structure of corrugated surfaces defined by either binocular disparity or motion parallax following prolonged viewing (adaptation) of supra-threshold surfaces defined by either the same or different cue (threshold elevation). The second experiment tested whether the depth detection thresholds for a compound stimulus, containing both binocular disparity and motion parallax, were lower than the thresholds determined for each of the components separately (sub-threshold summation). Experiment 1 showed a substantial amount of within- and between-cue threshold elevation and experiment 2 revealed the presence of sub-threshold summation. Together, these results support the view that the combination of binocular disparity and motion parallax information is not limited to a linear, weighted addition of their individual depth estimates but that the cues can interact non-linearly in the computation of depth.

متن کاملSurface orientation, modulation frequency and the detection and perception of depth defined by binocular disparity and motion parallax
Binocular disparity and motion parallax provide information about the spatial structure and layout of the world. Descriptive similarities between the two cues have often been noted which have been taken as evidence of a close relationship between them. Here, we report two experiments which investigate the effect of surface orientation and modulation frequency on (i) a threshold detection task a...
متن کاملThe Use of Enhanced Depth Information in Telepresence
This thesis explored the potential performance benefits of enhancing depth cues in telepresence interfaces. A series of experiments addressed the role of binocular disparity and motion parallax in teleoperators’ performance. Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrated that the effects of enhancing binocular disparity and motion parallax depend upon the information demands of a given task. Enhanced depth c...
متن کاملComparing depth from motion with depth from binocular disparity.
The accuracy of depth judgments that are based on binocular disparity or structure from motion (motion parallax and object rotation) was studied in 3 experiments. In Experiment 1, depth judgments were recorded for computer simulations of cones specified by binocular disparity, motion parallax, or stereokinesis. In Experiment 2, judgments were recorded for real cones in a structured environment,...
متن کاملDepth interval estimates from motion parallax and binocular disparity beyond interaction space.
Static and dynamic observers provided binocular and monocular estimates of the depths between real objects lying well beyond interaction space. On each trial, pairs of LEDs were presented inside a dark railway tunnel. The nearest LED was always 40 m from the observer, with the depth separation between LED pairs ranging from 0 up to 248 m. Dynamic binocular viewing was found to produce the great...
