Document Summary
Localization/ where: previous experience (learned behaviour, astronaut example (doorways and obstacles) A study of the efects of optical distortion in the. Apollo pressure suit helmet and visors on binocular depth perception has indicated that binocular depth perception was degraded by all the helmets and visors tested. Binocular stereoscopic vision is important in any task requiring precise visual localization of objects in space. Examples where good stereoscopic vision is necessary in the operation of cranes, drag lines, remote-controlled mechanical hands, and machine tolls requiring hand and eye coordination etc: size consistency. The two-streams hypothesis is a widely accepted and inluential model of the neural processing of vision. As visual information exits the occipital lobe, it follows two main pathways, or streams": the ventral stream (also known as the what pathway") travels to the temporal lobe and is involved with object recognition and form representation.
