The accuracy of depth judgments that are based on binocular disparity or structure from motion (motion parallax and object rotation) was studied in 3 experiments. In Experiment 1, depth judgments were recorded for computer simulations of cones specified by binocular disparity, motion parallax, or stereokinesis. In Experiment 2, judgments were recorded for real cones in a structured environment,...

– 2 – We analyze the Galactic bulge microlensing event MOA 2003-BLG-37. Although the Einstein timescale is relatively short, t E = 43 days, the lightcurve displays deviations consistent with parallax effects due to the Earth's accelerated motion. We show that the χ 2 surface has four distinct local minima that are induced by the " jerk-parallax " degeneracy, with pairs of solutions having proje...

Shape-from-focus (SFF) uses a sequence of space-variantly defocused observations captured with relative motion between camera and scene. It assumes that there is no motion parallax in the frames. This is a restriction and constrains the working environment. Moreover, SFF cannot recover the structure information when there are missing data in the frames due to CCD sensor damage or unavoidable oc...

When human subjects are presented with visual displays consisting of random dots moving sideways at different velocities, they perceive transparent surfaces, moving in the same direction but located at different distances from themselves. They perceive depth from motion parallax, without any additional cues to depth, such as relative size, occlusion or binocular disparity. Simultaneously, large...
