Any complete theory of human stereopsis must model not only how the correspondences between locations in the two views are determined and the depths are recovered from their disparity, but also how the ambiguity arising from such factors as noise, periodicity, and large regions of constant intensity are resolved and missing data are interpolated. In investigating this process of recovering surf...

The question of whether defocus blur is a quantitative cue for depth perception is a topic of renewed interest. A recent study suggests that relative defocus blur can be used in computing depth throughout the visual field, particularly in regions where disparity loses precision. However, elements of the study's experimental design and theoretical analysis appear to undermine this claim. First, ...

At about the same time (approximately 1989), R. Liu introduced the notion of simplicial depth and R. Randles the notion of interdirections. These completely independent and seemingly unrelated initiatives, serving different purposes in nonparametric multivariate analysis, have spawned significant activity within their quite different respective domains. A surprising and fruitful connection betw...

Previous work [Prince, S. J. D, & Eagle, R. A. (1999). Size-disparity correlation in human binocular depth perception. Proceedings of the Royal Society: Biological Sciences, 266, 1361-1365] has demonstrated that disparity sign discrimination performance in isolated bandpass patterns is supported at disparities much larger than a phase disparity model might predict. One possibility is that this ...
