Choices: The Science of Bela Julesz

Abstract

Artificial stereo picture pairs were generated on a digital computer. Viewed monocularly they appeared completely random, but viewed binocularly, certain correlated point domains are seen in depth. By introducing distortions in this material and testing for perception of depth, it is shown that pattern-matching of corresponding points of the left and right visual fields can be achieved by first combining the 2 fields and then searching for patterns in the fused field. A simple analog model is derived. Stereo images and viewing lens are bound with the article. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
