Study Notes
Binocular Disparity
- Refers to the slight difference in viewpoints between the two eyes due to their physical separation.
- Essential for depth perception; without it, depth perception would be significantly impaired.
Binocular Disparity and Stereopsis
- Stereopsis relies on the information about depth from binocular disparity.
- Horizontal disparity is a critical input for stereopsis; it is the sole cue used.
- Vertical disparity does not contribute to stereopsis.
Additional Information on Binocular Disparity
- Refers to the differences in visual images received by each eye.
- The brain utilizes binocular disparity to interpret depth information about objects.
- Considered the most significant cue for depth perception.
Classic Stereopsis Mechanism
- Based on the principle that two physical points in space at varying distances produce different retinal disparities in the two pairs of binocular images.
