Neurons selective for binocular disparity are found in a number of visual cortical areas in primates, but there is little evidence that any of these areas are specialized for disparity processing. We have examined the organization of disparity-selective neurons in the middle temporal visual area (MT), an area shown previously to contain an abundance of disparity-sensitive neurons. We recorded e...

Within-class spectral variation and between-class spectral confusion in remotely sensed imagery degrades the performance of built-up area detection when using planar texture, shape, and spectral features. Terrain slopes and building heights extracted from auxiliary data, such as Digital Surface Models (DSMs) however, can improve the results. Stereo imagery incorporates height information unlike...

We examined the contribution of social disadvantage to the black-white disparity in preterm birth. Analyses included linked vital and hospital discharge records from 127,358 black and 615,721 white singleton California births from 2007-11. Odds ratios (OR) were estimated by 4 logistic regression models for 2 outcomes: early (<32 wks) and moderate (32-36 wks) spontaneous preterm birth (ePTB, mPT...

Perceived slant produced by size disparities in random-dot displays was measured by tactile matching. For a 60 deg surface, slant produced by vertical-size disparity (the induced effect) was opposite to that produced by horizontal-size disparity. Overall-size disparity produced a little slant. With small displays, effects of horizontal and vertical disparities were reduced but not those of over...

Background Allocation of adequate healthcare facilities is one of the most important factors that public health policy-makers consider when preparing for infectious disease outbreaks. Negative pressure isolation rooms (NPIRs) are one of the critical resources for control of infectious respiratory diseases, such as the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. However, there is insuffi...

In addition to the conventional luminance spatial frequency-dependent, disparity processing mode, there is a second-order luminance spatial frequency-independent type of processing available to the stereoscopic system. Here we use gaussian-enveloped, amplitude-modulated grating patches to determine how the stereoscopic system responds to the presence of two sources of second-order disparity inf...
