Recovering 3-D shape: roles of absolute and relative disparity, retinal size, and viewing distance as studied with reverse-perspective stimuli.

چکیده
When viewing reverspective stimuli, data-driven signals such as disparity, motion parallax, etc, help to recover veridical three-dimensional (3-D) shape. They compete against schema-driven influences such as experience with perspective, foreshortening, and other pictorial cues that favor the perception of an illusory depth inversion. We used three scaled-size versions of a reverspective to study the roles of retinal size, binocular disparity, and viewing distance--that influences both vergence and accommodation--in recovering the true 3-D shape. Experiment 1 used three conditions, in each of which a parameter was kept fixed across the three stimulus sizes: (a) fixed retinal size, (b) fixed viewing distance, (c) fixed disparity. The predominance of the veridical percept was recorded. Generally, the illusion strength was the same when the viewing distance was fixed, despite significantly different disparities and retinal sizes; conversely, illusion strength changed significantly in fixed-disparity and fixed-retinal-size conditions. Experiment 2 confirmed the results of experiment 1b (roughly equal performances for fixed viewing distance, independent of size) for two additional distances. Viewing distance and "scaled disparity" (disparity divided by retinal size) are good predictors of the data trends. We propose that disparity scaling is supported by both mathematical and 3-D shape considerations.

The role of stereopsis, motion parallax, perspective and angle polarity in perceiving 3-D shape.
We studied how stimulus attributes (angle polarity and perspective) and data-driven signals (motion parallax and binocular disparity) affect recovery of 3-D shape. We used physical stimuli, which consisted of two congruent trapezoids forming a dihedral angle. To study the effects of the stimulus attributes, we used 2 × 2 combinations of convex/concave angles and proper/reverse perspective cues...
متن کاملDetecting binocular 3D motion in static 3D noise: no effect of viewing distance.
Relative binocular disparity cannot tell us the absolute 3D shape of an object, nor the 3D trajectory of its motion, unless the visual system has independent access to how far away the object is at any moment. Indeed, as the viewing distance is changed, the same disparate retinal motions will correspond to very different real 3D trajectories. In this paper we were interested in whether binocula...
متن کاملThe Distance Used for Scaling Disparities is the Same as the One Used for Scaling Retinal Size
To determine the physical size and global three-dimensional (3-D) shape of an object, retinal size and retinal disparity have to be scaled in accordance with the object's distance. We examined whether the distance used for scaling retinal disparity is the same as the distance used for scaling retinal size. Subjects adjusted the 3-D shape (size and depth) of a computer-simulated ellipsoid to mat...
متن کاملPerceived afterimage size in depth cue-conflict condition
In depth cue-conflict conditions, various depth cues could represent different extents of depth. Previous studies have investigated the perceived size of negative afterimage in depth cue-correlated conditions in which different cues introduce almost the same amounts of depth to the visual system. This study examined the perceived size of the afterimage in the human observers in a condition that...
