Occlusion/Interposition Object size Position in field of view Cues to depth Texture gradients Linear perspective Shading
Atmospheric: Blueing with distance Occlusion/Interposition
Part II.Stereopsis • Definition - Retinal disparity • - Horopters • - Stereoacuity - Stereoscopes and anaglyphs - Form-from-stereopsis - Correspondence problem - Autostereograms
definition……….. Stereopsis is the means by which we determine the relative depth of objects by virtue of the fact that our two eyes view the world from a slightly different angle.
Retinal disparity
more definitions……. Retinal disparity is the difference in angle subtended by the image of an object between the two eyes, relative to fixation. Stereoacuity is the minimal detectable stereoscopic depth in units of disparity. Normal = 5-15 secs of arc; best is 2 secs. Fusion limit is the largest disparity that can be fused Diplopia is the experience of double vision
Stereoacuity: Normal: 5-15 arc secs of arc; best is 2 secs. Fusion Limit (Panum’s limit): 1.5 - 20 arc mins Development: Abrupt onset of stereopsis at 3-5 months

‘False-target’ or stereo-correspondence problem
Clinical aspects Development: Abrupt onset of stereopsis at 3-5 months Critical periods: Infancy 6-10 months Childhood 10 months – 9 years
Clinical aspects Stereoanomaly: Persons with a selective deficit in either crossed or uncrossed disparities (Richards, 1971), apparently unlinked to amblyopia Amblyopia: Strabismus and Anisometropia
Tests for binocular vision and stereopsis Worth 4 dot: Test for binocular function Stereo Fly test: Test for ‘local’ stereopsis Stereo Butterfly: Test for ‘global’ stereopsis TNO: Test for ‘global’ stereopsis Randot E: Test for ‘global’ stereopsis
