The role of binocular stereopsis in monoptic depth perception

Physiologically based models of binocular depth perception

The Role of Binocular Cues in Human Pilot Landing Control

The paper discusses the possible use of binocular cues by aircraft pilots in the final landing phase through a review of literature. The review includes medical and psychophysical literature, as well as works on pilot training, certification and flight experiments. It was found that stereopsis can be used as a depth cue up to several hundred meters. However, in situations where monocular cues a...

Perceiving and acting in depth in Williams syndrome and typical development.

Individuals with the neurodevelopmental disorder Williams syndrome (WS) often report difficulty processing and acting in depth, such as crossing roads or reaching for objects; however little research attention has been directed at understanding depth perception and action in depth in WS and whether deficits in depth perception have an ocular or perceptual root in this group. This study assessed...

Binocular vision

This essay reviews major developments - empirical and theoretical - in the field of binocular vision during the last 25years. We limit our survey primarily to work on human stereopsis, binocular rivalry and binocular contrast summation, with discussion where relevant of single-unit neurophysiology and human brain imaging. We identify several key controversies that have stimulated important work...

Stereoscopic Depth Perception during Binocular Rivalry

When we view nearby objects, we generate appreciably different retinal images in each eye. Despite this, the visual system can combine these different images to generate a unified view that is distinct from the perception generated from either eye alone (stereopsis). However, there are occasions when the images in the two eyes are too disparate to fuse. Instead, they alternate in perceptual dom...
