The influence of optical distortions and transverse chromatic aberrations on motion parallax and stereopsis in natural and artificial environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This chapter examines the potential effects of optical distortions and transverse chromatic aberration on the perception of depth. In particular, I will emphasize the role of motion parallax and stereoscopic vision. Motion parallax implies that the perception of depth can be extracted from a temporal sequence of images that contain different perspectives while stereopsis is the binocular depth perception derived from the disparate views of the two eyes for the same visual scene. It will be argued that motion parallax alone will generate a strong sense of depth, even in the absence of stereoscopic cues. Studies directly comparing motion parallax and stereoscopy will be presented showing that, under certain conditions, these cues can be equally efficient and that there can be an additive effect when both cues are present. A theoretical discussion on how the effect of optical distortions and chromatic aberrations can influence motion parallax and stereopsis from a viewer’s perspective will follow. Particular emphasis will be placed on the consequences of optical distortions produced by progressive addition lenses used to correct for presbyopia on motion parallax. We will also discuss how natural and induced transverse chromatic aberrations interact with perceptual phenomena to generate depth illusions. Finally, research avenues will be proposed to answer some of the theoretical and practical issues related to motion parallax in both natural and artificial environments.

Motion parallax, stereoscopy, and the perception of depth: Practical and theoretical issues
This paper deals with practical and theoretical issues related to motion parallax. Motion parallax implies that the perception of depth can be extracted from a temporal sequence of images that contain different perspectives. The present paper will focus on the relative effectiveness of motion parallax as compared to stereoscopic depth perception. It will be argued that motion parallax alone wil...
متن کاملSpatial and Spectral Analysis and Modeling of Transversal Chromatic Aberrations and their Compensation
The wavelength-dependency of the refraction indices in optical systems involves chromatic aberrations: one object point is not projected on exactly one image point on the sensor plane, but dispersed depending on its wavelengths in a rainbow-like manner due to the wavelength-dependency. These distortions have already been analyzed for the three broadband color planes red, green and blue of an RG...

Introduction: In this study, we utilized the MCNP4C Monte Carlo code to quantitatively evaluate the influence of crystal size and material on intercrystal scatter and parallax effects. Materials and Methods: For each of the 5 selected crystals (BGO, LSO, LYSO, LuAP, GSO), transport of 511 keV photons originating from a point source and incident on the central cry...
متن کاملBehavioral assessment of motion parallax and stereopsis as depth cues in rhesus monkeys
Although human psychophysical results show that motion parallax and stereopsis are both effective depth cues, it is not clear whether the same is true for non-human primates. As an initial step, we assessed the extent to which rhesus monkeys are capable of processing depth information based solely on motion parallax as compared with stereopsis. We constructed a unique display that enabled us to...
متن کاملRobot Motion Vision Part II: Implementation
The idea of Fixation introduced a direct method for general recovery of shape and motion from images without using either feature correspondence or optical flow [1,2]. There are some parameters which have important effects on the performance of fixation method. However, the theory of fixation does not say anything about the autonomous and correct choice of those parameters. This paper presents ...
