No, they are stereo images, and work for me. You need to focus solidly on the two red dots at the top. Gradually a third dot will appear between them, at which point the stereo effect kicks in. These are traditional examples used to demonstrate the stereo effect,. if I remember correctly. |

Stereo Distance Perception

I have always been fascinated by the phenomenon of depth perception in vision. It would seem that this is a combination of two mechanisms : First there is the automatic simple focus position of the eye to achieve a clear image. This doesn't depend on using both eyes and will work just as well with one eye. Then, there is the slight though very significant difference between the perceived images in the left and right eyes, owing to the difference in horizontal positions of the eyes. This is much greater at closer image distances and dependant on using both eyes. It is my perception ( no pun intended ), that at all close or reasonably limited distances, this is the greater part of depth perception. Images, Stereo 1, -2 and -3 have been developed to test this second mechanism. See : https://postimg.cc/gallery/3fnjbwcn4/ These depend on deliberately misaligning eyes in such a way that the two orange dots at the top of the image are spilt and resolved into three images. With an image displayed full screen, stare above the screen as to something more distant, which will shift the left image to the right and the right image to the left. When the images resolve to three, by overlapping of the right dot of the left eye with the left dot of the right eye, the eyes are set to perceive depth in the image. Each image consists of a narrow random display of dots extending top to bottom, where this displayed area is repeated horizontally across the image width, with the same approximate spacing as between the three orange dots. The eyes will lock on the display where each eye is actually locked on subsequent repeats of the display. Now, the display has deliberately been altered in the horizontal direction at various areas of the whole image, such that the eyes will perceive an apparent shift in angular position of these areas, which will be perceived as a different depth via the second mechanism. A very neat trick that works surprisingly well ! Have you looked into the work of Bela Julesz? Seems he discovered this phenomena while working on visualization of random pattern generators. He did a lot of work in the field of visual perception. -- == Later... Ron C -- |
