Seeing in Stereo
It’s very hard to read words if there are multiple images on your retinaIt’s very hard to read words if there are multiple images on your retina
![Page 4: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Seeing in Stereo
It’s very hard to read words if there are multiple images on your retinaIt’s very hard to read words if there are multiple images on your retina
But how many images are there on yourretinae?

Binocular Disparity
• Your eyes have a different image on each retina– hold pen at arms length and fixate the spot
– how many pens do you see?
– which pen matches which eye?
![Page 6: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Binocular Disparity
• Your eyes have a different image on each retina– now fixate the pen
– how many spots do you see?
– which spot matches which eye?

Binocular Disparity
• Binocular disparity is the difference between the two images
![Page 8: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Binocular Disparity
• Binocular disparity is the difference between the two images
• Disparity depends on where the object is relative to the fixation point:– objects closer than fixation project images that
“cross”– objects farther than fixation project images
that do not “cross”

Binocular Disparity
• Corresponding retinal points
![Page 10: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Binocular Disparity
• Corresponding retinal points

Binocular Disparity
• Corresponding retinal points
![Page 12: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Binocular Disparity
• Corresponding retinal points
![Page 13: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Binocular Disparity
• Points in space that have corresponding retinal points define a plane called the horopter
The Horopter
![Page 14: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Binocular Disparity
• Points not on the horopter will be disparate on the retina (they project images onto non-corresponding points)
![Page 15: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Binocular Disparity
• Points not on the horopter will be disparate on the retina (they project images onto non-corresponding points)
• The nature of the disparity depends on where they are relative to the horopter
![Page 16: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Binocular Disparity
• points nearer than horopter have crossed disparity
• points farther than horopter have uncrossed disparity
![Page 17: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Binocular Disparity
• Why don’t we see double vision?
![Page 18: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Binocular Disparity
• Why don’t we see double vision?
• Images with a small enough disparity are fused into a single image
![Page 19: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Binocular Disparity
• Why don’t we see double vision?
• Images with a small enough disparity are fused into a single image
• The region of space that contains images with close enough disparity to be fused is called Panum’s Area
![Page 20: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Binocular Disparity
• Panum’s Area extends just in front of and just behind the horopter
![Page 21: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Stereopsis
• Our brains interpret crossed and uncrossed disparity as depth
• That process is called stereoscopic depth perception or simply stereopsis
![Page 22: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Stereopsis
• Stereopsis requires that the brain can encode the two retinal images independently
![Page 23: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Stereopsis
• Primary visual cortex (V1) has bands of neurons that keep input from the two eyes separate
![Page 24: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Stereopsis
• If the brain only gets normal signals from one eye early in life, that eye’s neurons crowd out the other eye’s neurons
![Page 25: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Amblyopia
• Amblyopia is a visual deficit in which one eye has poor vision because the brain never developed the ability to use signals from that retina
![Page 26: Read Pinker article for Thurs.. Seeing in Stereo](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d375503460f94a0f80b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Amblyopia
• Amblyopia is a visual deficit in which one eye has poor vision because the brain never developed the ability to use signals from that retina
• Usually caused by – strabismus - when eyes don’t lock onto the same
point – anisometropia - when one eye has very bad optics
and the other is normal

Amblyopia
• People with Amblyopia can’t see stereograms
