An on object on the horopter has no disparity. Objects closer and farther have disparity, but how can our brain tell the differences? That is the issue that will be discussed here.
The simple version is that there is a difference, like the difference between positive and negative numbers, that allows our brain to determine if an object is closer or farther from the horopter. Points that are closer to us than the horopter have crossed disparity, and points farther away have uncrossed disparity.
You can see this in the diagram. Bear with this example, as we introduce a little more terminology necessary to understanding binocular vision.
Consider Object Crossed. Object Crossed is closer to the observer than the horopter line. Why this is called crossed will be discussed in the illustration. Crossed disparity is often given a positive sign. Next consider Object Uncrossed. You'd have to cross converge your eyes to fixate on it. It is further to the left from the right eye's perspective. Stereoscope: One way to view stereo image pairs is to use a mirror stereoscope.
If you put your face in front of a pair of angled mirrors, and put two slightly different pictures off to the sides, your left eye will see the left picture E' and your right eye will view the right-hand picture E. The two images in a stereogram are slightly different, with features in one image shifted to slightly different positions in the other image.
The shifts mimic differences which ordinarily would exist between the views of genuine 3D objects. There are lots of ways to make and view stereograms. The basic concept is to present slightly different images to the two eyes. One way is to superimpose two half images, one in red and one in green. Viewed through red-green glasses, one eye sees the red image and the other eye sees the green image.
Stereograms have been part of popular culture in each generation since Wheatstone. Brewster stereoscopes different design, but same in concept were popular around with photographed stereo pairs. Current 3D movies are usually viewed with polarized glasses instead of red-green so the movies can be in color.
Another recent technique is the "magic eye" autostereograms. Random-dot stereogram: The random-dot stereogram was invented by Bela Julesz, a perceptual psychologist who was very influential over the past 30 years.
In the example below, with anaglyph glasses you would see a square-shaped surface floating in depth in front of a background. Both the foreground square and the background have little dots painted on them in random locations. To construct a random-dot stereogram, you first place a bunch of dots randomly in an image. Then make two copies of it. In one copy shift a central square region to the left and in the other copy shift the same central square region to the right.
This leaves holes in each of the images left over from where the square shifted from. Fill the holes with new random dots. Why do you see it in 3D?
The shift mimics differences which ordinarily exist between the views of genuine 3D objects. The extra dots X and Y above correspond to those parts of the background that one eye can see, but which are occluded from the view of the other eye by the foreground square.
How does the visual system see depth in a random-dot stereogram? One hypothesis is that the visual system matches up features of similar shape, size, contrast, etc.
But, there can be lots of potential matches. In principle each dot present in one row of one half-image could have a large number of matches in the other half-image. This problem of resolving this ambiguity is known as the problem of global stereopsis because the brain must find the correct overall global set of matches. It can't just try to find a mate for each feature independently.
Global stereopsis is not just an issue for random-dot stereograms. Natural scenes e. The visual system "solves" the global stereopsis problem by using additional constraints. For example, nearby points in the image are usually at nearby positions in depth, hence have nearly the same disparity.
Autostereogram: The autostereogram is also known as a "magic eye" stimulus. The trick is to display slightly different images to the two eyes. The autostereogram works by having repetitive patterns. To see depth in an autostereogram, you need to either cross or diverge your eyes so that they fixate separately on two different repeats of a repetitive pattern.
In this way, you effectively get two different images to the two eyes. A simple example is the wallpaper illusion. If you view vertically striped wallpaper and fixate one eye on one stripe and the other eye on the another stripe, the stripes appear to pop out in depth in front of the wall. Note that the depth you will perceive will be the opposite if you cross-fuse an autostereogram than if you diverge-fuse it.
Some are totally stereoblind, some are blind only to either crossed or uncrossed disparities. Some stereoblindness is caused by strabismus wandering eye. Some people with strabismus end up with amblyopia sometimes called lazy eye.
Amblyopia is a cortical blindness. Amblyopia is a general term for a visual deficit that has nothing to do with the optics or structure of eye and retina. In amblyopia, the brain basically ignores inputs from one eye. Other people with untreated strabismus end up as alternate fixators who can see with either eye, but never use them both at the same time.
That is, they first look at you with their left eye while the right eye is diverged , then switch and look at you with their right eye while the left eye is diverged. In either case, there is no binocular vision and no stereopsis. If you record with a micro-electrode from a V1 neuron while an animal views oriented lines presented separately to the two eyes and vary the disparity, some neurons are selective for particular disparities.
Abnormalities of saccades offer important clues in the diagnosis of a number of movement disorders. Saccades are one of the fastest movements produced by the human body blinks may reach even higher peak velocities.
Saccades to an unexpected stimulus normally take about milliseconds ms to initiate, and then last from about 20— ms, depending on their amplitude 20—30 ms is typical in language reading. Saccadic deficiencies can be treated using vision therapy at any age, and it can help to improve reading speed and ability. Some of the treatments that might be used are monocular exercises done with a patch including charts, games, hitting a Marsden Ball, and doing eye stretches and jumps.
Anticonvulsants, sedatives and sedating antidepressants are the most common culprits. The eyes move smoothly instead of in jumps. They are called pursuit because this type of eye movement is made when the eyes follow an object. Therefore, to make a pursuit movement, look at your forefinger, at arms length and then move your arm left and right while fixating your finger tip.
In the VVOR test, when the head is turned to the right side, both the pursuit and vestibulo-ocular reflexes are intact, so that there is no abnormal eye movement.
Hence, a corrective saccade to the right is needed during the head movement to keep the target on the fovea, along with the pursuit reflex [1, 2]. For saccadic testing, one may place dots on the wall or ceiling at specified distances from each other usually center and 10, 20, and 30 degrees off center and then instruct the patient to look back and forth between the dots, keeping the head fixed.
The condition stems from a problem with the alignment of your eyes, or with the systems in your brain and inner ears that control your body alignment and balance. The eyes can never be observed in motion, yet an external observer clearly sees the motion of the eyes. The phenomenon is often used to help explain a temporal illusion by the name of chronostasis, which momentarily occurs following a rapid eye-movement.
Nystagmus is an involuntary rhythmic side-to-side, up and down or circular motion of the eyes that occurs with a variety of conditions. People with nystagmus are not disabled, they are differently abled. Background: Nystagmus is an involuntary movement of the eyes in a rhythmic manner.
Many individuals with this condition are visually impaired, some are registered blind, and very few can drive vehicles. This can lead to fatal accidents both to an individual with nystagmus and to people on the road.
How common is nystagmus? Nystagmus has an incidence rate of at least 1 in 1, people in the general population and is the most common form of visual impairment among school aged children. Eyeglasses and contact lenses are a simple solution to improve vision.
