Stereoscopic depth perception is based on measuring tiny differences between the two eyes' images which arise as a result of binocular parallax1. Julesz2 used random-dot stereograms to demonstrate that stereopsis may be based on a simple point-to-point comparison of the two eyes' images and does not require the presence of monocularly visible forms or contours. Here we present a new class of stereograms which illustrate that monocular subjective contours3–5 can influence the matching of elements in a stereogram even though the elements themselves convey no disparity information. More specifically, the depth seen from such contours is automatically attributed to texture elements and lines that are enclosed by these contours—an illusion that we call ‘stereoscopic capture’.
