Document Summary

Our ability to see things in 3d. Visual angle can tell us two things: how large something acutally is, a large object will have a large visual angle, but also tells us things about how faw away something is in depth. Visual problem is: is something big, or is it just close: physiological (2 cues, pictorial cues (7 cues, motion based cues (3 cues) Close-up on binocular depth perception: how is depth info derived from stereopsis (stereovision) Random dot stereogram: two images with different placed dots- see one image in left eye and the other image in the right eye. Stage 1: solving the stereo-correspondence problem: auto-stereograms: illusions caused when we solve the stereo-correspondence problem. Solving the problem: what part on the left eye image corresponds to what part on the right eye image. Solving it correctly: realizing that two dots come from the same object.
