Motion parallax, stereoscopy, and the perception of depth: Practical and theoretical issues
نویسنده
چکیده
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 will generate a strong sense of depth, even in the absence of stereoscopic cues. Two 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 the effect of optical distortions and how such distortions can influence motion parallax from a viewer’s perspective will follow. Particular emphasis will be placed on the optical distortions produced by progressive addition lenses used to correct for presbyopia. Finally, research avenues will be proposed to answer some of the theoretical and practical issues related to motion parallax in our daily activities.

The influence of optical distortions and transverse chromatic aberrations on motion parallax and stereopsis in natural and artificial environments
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 ...
متن کاملAutomatic 3DTV Quality Assessment Based On Depth Perception Analysis
Quality assessment is a key factor for stereoscopic 3D video content as some observers are affected by visual discomfort in the eye when viewing 3D video, especially when combining positive and negative parallax with fast motion. In this paper, we propose techniques to assess objective quality related to motion and depth maps, which facilitate depth perception analysis. Subjective tests were ca...
متن کاملA Medical Volume Visualization System supporting Head-Tracked Stereoscopic Viewing and Direct 3D Interaction
Introduction We have developed an experimental medical volume visualization system supporting head-tracked stereoscopic viewing registered with direct 3Dinteraction. We aim to assess the suitability of these techniques for surgical planning tasks in real medical settings. In particular, vascular surgeons examining the distal site of the aneurismatic sack are assisted by visualizing the artery a...
متن کاملImproving 3D perception by adding eye-tracking based motion parallax - an ICASSP demo
Motion parallax is one of the most important 3D clues for human vision perception. The majority of the monitors today display contents regardless of the user’s viewpoint. In this demo, we track head/eye position of the viewer based on a web camera, and use that information to render view-dependent contents, adding motion parallax to essentially any display device. In the demo we will allow ICAS...
متن کاملDepth Perception and Visual After-effects at Stereoscopic Workbench Displays
The vivid and clear way of virtual scene presentation in Virtual Environments (VE) is nearly exclusively accomplished by stereoscopic displays. Depth perception with these displays differs from the viewing conditions in reality and causes usability problems. For this reason three important aspects of visualization at a stereoscopic workbench display were analyzed. The results of three experimen...
