Binocular Depth and the Perception of Visual Surfaces

Abstract

This technical report consists of two publications. The first is the first chapter of a Ph.D. dissertation completed this summer. The chapter provides an overview of the work on depth from stereopsis. The second part of the report is a reprint of an article appearing in Vision Research which describes set of experiments that shown an insensitivity to constant gradients of disparity and suggest that places with nonzero second derivatives of disparity are used for computing depth. Keywords: Stereopsis; Binocular vision; Depth perception; Vision.
