Stereoscopic edge and surface perception

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Our seemingly effortless ability to perceive our environment and the objects within it are only possible because of the effectiveness and complexity of visual information processing in the brain; especially stereoscopic processing which gives a graphic sense of three-dimentionality of long-standing interest to scientists, artists and engineers/computer scientists trying to simulate stereo information. This proposal will pursue some novel ideas about how we perceive slant and curvature from stereopsis and how we allow for distance in interpreting interocular image differences. It is relevant to artificial intelligence, visual guidance, virtual reality and medical and military image interpretation.
