The results of several experiments demonstrate that the estimated magnitude of perceived slant of large stereoscopic surfaces increases with the duration of the presentation. In these experiments, subjects were free to make eye movements. A possible explanation for the increase is that the visual system needs to scan the stimulus with eye movements (which take time) before it can make a reliabl...

Rotating a surface about a horizontal axis alters the retinal horizontal-shear disparities. Opposed torsional eye movements (cyclovergence) also change horizontal shear. If there were no compensation for the horizontal disparities created by cyclovergence, slant estimates would be erroneous. We asked whether compensation for cyclovergence occurs, and, if it does, whether it occurs by use of an ...

There have been many experiments reported in the literature that have employed discrimination procedures to estimate the variance of observers' slant judgments from texture and binocular disparity, both individually and in combination. The research described in the present article identifies two serious methodological flaws in these studies. Although discrimination thresholds can be influenced ...

A slant weighted Toeplitz operator Aφ is an operator on L(β) defined as Aφ = WMφ where Mφ is the weighted multiplication operator and W is an operator on L(β) given by We2n = βn β2n en, {en}n∈Z being the orthonormal basis. In this paper, we generalise Aφ to the k-th order slant weighted Toeplitz operator Uφ and study its properties. Keywords—Slant weighted Toeplitz operator, weighted multiplica...

Koffka's (1935, pp. 224-235) explanation of shape-constancy is based on the assumption of an invariant linkage between slant and shape. Koffka's hypothesis has been formulated in the following way by Beck and Gibson (1955): "A retinal projection of a given form determines a unique relation of apparent shape to apparent slant" (p. 126). The invariance hypothesis requires that perceived shape var...

From the literature it is known that the processing of disparity for slant is different in the presence and in the absence of a visual frame of reference. The experimental finding that vertical disparity is not processed for slant perception in the presence of a visual reference is elaborated. This theoretical analysis results in a reduction of the three basic first-order transformations betwee...

The Necker cube is a striking example for perceptual dominance of 3D over 2D. Object symmetry and obliqueness of angles are co-varying cues that may underlie the perceived slant of Necker cubes. To investigate the power of the oblique-angle cue, slants were judged of extremely simple symmetrical shapes. Slant computations based on an assumption of orthogonality were made for two abutting lines ...
