Depth perception from dynamic occlusion in motion parallax: roles of expansion-compression versus accretion-deletion.

چکیده
Motion parallax, or differential retinal image motion from observer movement, provides important information for depth perception. We previously measured the contribution of shear motion parallax to depth, which is only composed of relative motion information. Here, we examine the roles of relative motion and accretion-deletion information in dynamic occlusion motion parallax. Observers performed two-alternative forced choice depth-ordering tasks in response to low spatial frequency patterns of horizontal random dot motion that were synchronized to the observer's head movements. We examined conditions that isolated or combined expansion-compression and accretion-deletion across a range of simulated relative depths. At small depths, expansion-compression provided reliable depth perception while accretion-deletion had a minor contribution: When the two were in conflict, the perceived depth was dominated by expansion-compression. At larger depths in the cue-conflict experiment, accretion-deletion determined the depth-ordering performance. Accretion-deletion in isolation did not yield any percept of depth even though, in theory, it provided sufficient information for depth ordering. Thus, accretion-deletion can substantially enhance depth perception at larger depths but only in the presence of relative motion. The results indicate that expansion-compression contributes to depth from motion parallax across a broad range of depths whereas accretion-deletion contributes primarily at larger depths.

Boundary segmentation from dynamic occlusion-based motion parallax.
Active observer movement results in retinal image motion that is highly dependent on the scene layout. This retinal motion, often called motion parallax, can yield significant information about the boundaries between objects and their relative depth differences. Previously we examined segmentation from shear-based motion parallax, which consists of only relative motion information. Here, we exa...
متن کاملDynamic perspective cues enhance depth perception from motion parallax.
Motion parallax, the perception of depth resulting from an observer's self-movement, has almost always been studied with random dot textures in simplified orthographic rendering. Here we examine depth from motion parallax in more naturalistic conditions using textures with an overall 1/f spectrum and dynamic perspective rendering. We compared depth perception for orthographic and perspective re...
متن کاملModeling depth from motion parallax with the motion/pursuit ratio
The perception of unambiguous scaled depth from motion parallax relies on both retinal image motion and an extra-retinal pursuit eye movement signal. The motion/pursuit ratio represents a dynamic geometric model linking these two proximal cues to the ratio of depth to viewing distance. An important step in understanding the visual mechanisms serving the perception of depth from motion parallax ...

We also demonstrate the effectiveness of SART in generating dynamic real-time scenes (20 fps on an Nvidia Pascal GPU). Unlike traditional 2D displays, light field displays provide binocular depth cues such as high-resolution motion parallax, occlusion, translucency, and specularity. In particular attenuation-based light field displays provide an inexpensive means by which to produce these unenc...
متن کاملThe motion/pursuit law for visual depth perception from motion parallax
One of vision's most important functions is specification of the layout of objects in the 3D world. While the static optical geometry of retinal disparity explains the perception of depth from binocular stereopsis, we propose a new formula to link the pertinent dynamic geometry to the computation of depth from motion parallax. Mathematically, the ratio of retinal image motion (motion) and smoot...
