چکیده

There is recent evidence that both linear and non-linear filtering operations subserve stereoscopic localization. For example, for spatially band-pass stimuli, the overall Gaussian envelope, which is not explicitly represented by the output of linear filters, can provide coarse disparity information. Here we ask three questions about the nature of this non-linear processing in stereopsis. First, is the site of the non-linearity before or after binocular combination? Second, is the stimulus envelope extracted by orientation or non-orientation selective spatial filters? Finally, we ask whether the envelope-based 3-D localization performance is similar to that for monocular 2-D localization as would be the case if the localization of the monocular contrast envelope was common to both operations. Our results suggest that envelope extraction occurs before binocular combination and that the filters involved are orientation selective. Finally, we provide preliminary evidence that is compatible with the proposal that 3-D and 2-D localization use the same envelope extraction operations.

The effects of blur and size on monocular and stereoscopic localization

Monocular localization of non-abutting stimuli and stereoscopic localization of the same second-order targets are performed with the same precision (Wilcox, L.M. & Hess, R.F. (1996) Is the site of non-linear filtering in stereopsis before or after binocular combination? Vision Research, 36, 391-399). Further, both tasks show a similar dependence on the scale of the stimulus. Since prior studies...

Backgrounds and Objective: Stereoacuity is due to a relative difference between images because of retinal disparity. Measurment of stereoacuity is important for diagnosis and treatment of binocular anomalies and noerological problems. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of induced heterophoria by base-out and base-in prisms on distance stereopsis by the Three Needle Test. Material...

Differential binocular input and local stereopsis

Using fractal noise images, we measured the dependence of Dmin and Dmax for stereo on the interocular differences of spatial frequency and contrast. Dmin exhibits a strong dependence on the highest spatial frequency contained in the image, while Dmax exhibits a weaker dependence on the lowest spatial frequency contained within the image. Neither relationship was found to be different when the f...

Methods for face recognition which are based on face structure are among techniques without supervision and produce unfavorable results in the presence of linear changes in images. PCA is a linear transform and a powerful tool for data analysis but does not produce good results for face recognition when there are non-linear changes resulting from changes in position, intensity and gesture in th...

Comprehensive Analysis of Dense Point Cloud Filtering Algorithm for Eliminating Non-Ground Features

Point cloud and LiDAR Filtering is removing non-ground features from digital surface model (DSM) and reaching the bare earth and DTM extraction. Various methods have been proposed by different researchers to distinguish between ground and non- ground in points cloud and LiDAR data. Most fully automated methods have a common disadvantage, and they are only effective for a particular type of surf...
