Depth Cues

Pictorial Depth Cues: aspects of 2D images that imply depth

Physiological Depth Cues: Proprioception in ocular muscles indicates
accommodation and convergence

Motion Depth Cues: foreground and background move in opposite directions

Stereoscopic Depth Cues: disparity between two retinal images indicates
distance
Pictorial Depth Cues
– Retinal image size
– far objects smaller than near objects
Pictorial Depth Cues
• Retinal image size
– problem: big far things same as close
small things
– “solved” by size constancy: Perceived size
is adjusted according to perceived
distance (based on other cues)
– forms the basis for several visual illusions
Pictorial Depth Cues

Physiological Depth Cues
–
Two Physiological Depth Cues
1. accommodation
2. convergence
Physiological Depth Cues

Accommodation
Physiological Depth Cues
–
Convergence
Physiological Depth Cues
–
Convergence
– small angle of convergence = far away
– large angle of convergence = near
–
–
What two sensory systems is the brain
integrating?
What happens to images closer or
farther away from fixation point?
Physiological Depth Cues
–
Convergence and accommodation are
reflexively linked
Under what circumstances might this be a problem?
Motion Depth Cues
–
Motion
1. Parallax
Motion Depth Cues
–
Parallax
Motion Depth Cues
–
Parallax
– points at different locations in the visual
field move at different speeds depending
on their distance from fixation

But how many images are there on your
retinae?
Binocular Disparity
• Your eyes have a different image on each
retina
– hold pen at arms length and fixate the spot
– how many pens do you see?
– which pen matches which eye?
Binocular Disparity
• Your eyes have a different image on each
retina
– now fixate the pen
– how many spots do you see?
– which spot matches which eye?
Binocular Disparity
• Binocular disparity is the difference
between the two images
Binocular Disparity
• Binocular disparity is the difference
between the two images
• Disparity depends on where the
object is relative to the fixation point:
– objects closer than fixation project
images that “cross”
– objects farther than fixation project
images that do not “cross”
Binocular Disparity
• Corresponding retinal points
Binocular Disparity
• Corresponding retinal points
Binocular Disparity
• Corresponding retinal points
Binocular Disparity
• Corresponding retinal points
Binocular Disparity
• Points in space that have corresponding
retinal points define a plane called the
horopter
The Horopter
Binocular Disparity
• Points not on the horopter will be
disparate on the retina (they project
images onto non-corresponding
points)
Binocular Disparity
• Points not on the horopter will be
disparate on the retina (they project
images onto non-corresponding
points)
• The nature of the disparity depends
on where they are relative to the
horopter
Binocular Disparity
• points nearer than
horopter have crossed
disparity
• points farther than
horopter have
uncrossed disparity
The Horopter
Binocular Disparity
• Why don’t we see double vision?
Binocular Disparity
• Why don’t we see double vision?
• Images with a small enough disparity
are fused into a single image
Now on to Magic Eye
Stereograms
Stereograms
Divider
Left Eye
Right Eye
•Right eye sees face to the
left; left eye sees face to the
right therefore:
faces present crossed
disparity to the brain
•Face appears in front of
square
Autostereograms
• Optically separate images aren’t
needed
Autostereograms
• Optically separate images aren’t
needed
• WARNING! Tricky stuff coming in the
next slides
Autostereograms
• Optically separate images aren’t
needed
• WARNING! Tricky stuff coming in the
next slides
• Keep the definitions of convergence and
disparity separate.
Autostereograms
What would happen if you remove the
divider of a stereoscope?
•Convergence is on a point
at the same distance as the
images
•Boxes and faces are on the
horopter
•How many boxes would you
see?
boxes and faces are on the horopter
Autostereograms
Now cross your eyes:
•right-eye line of sight crosses lefteye line of sight in front of image
(crossed convergence)
•each retina is now pointed at the
opposite box
•How many boxes would you see?
crossed convergence
•What would happen to the face?
Autostereograms
•There would be three boxes
•middle box: right eye sees face
shifted to right; left eye sees face
shifted to left therefore:
uncrossed disparity
crossed convergence
•Face in the middle box appears
behind square
Autostereograms
• What would happen if you moved the
faces within the box?
• What would happen if you viewed this
with uncrossed convergence?
Autostereograms
Crossed convergence shifts right image to the
right of the left image and vice versa:
Left Eye’s Image
Right Eye’s Image
Autostereograms
What would happen if the convergence was
uncrossed?
Autostereograms
Uncrossed convergence shifts right-eye’s image to the
left of the left-eye image and vice versa:
Left Eye
Right Eye
Autostereograms
What would happen if the faces were switched relative
to the boxes?
Autostereograms
• one doesn’t even need two different
images!
Autostereograms
RIGHT EYE
LEFT EYE
Faces fuse
Convergence tells your brain that the plane of the image
is farther away than it really is
Autostereograms
• Uneven spacing between identical
objects in a single picture can appear as
disparity if the angle of convergence is
inappropriate
Autostereograms
• Uneven spacing between identical
objects in a single picture can appear as
disparity if the angle of convergence is
inappropriate
• TRICK: Seeing depth in
autostereograms requires you to
suppress the reflexive coordination
between convergence and
accommodation
Autostereograms
Any repeating objects that have a spacing different from the background will
have either crossed or uncrossed disparity
RIGHT EYE
LEFT EYE
If you uncross convergence, your right eye gets these faces
shifted slightly to left, left eye gets them shifted to right =
CROSSED DISPARITY
What would you see?
Autostereograms
Any repeating objects that have a spacing difference from the background
will have either crossed or uncrossed disparity
RIGHT EYE
LEFT EYE
If you uncross convergence, right eye gets these faces shifted
slightly to right, left eye gets them shifted to left =
UNCROSSED DISPARITY
What would you see?
Autostereograms
• by adjusting the disparity at different parts of
the image (with a computer usually) one can
make shapes that emerge or recede in depth
“Magic Eye” Stereograms
• Usually viewed with uncrossed convergence
• Imagine gazing farther than the surface (let your eyes
“relax”)
• Now try to notice objects or forms in the blurriness
• As you become aware of shapes, try to focus
(accommodate) the plane of the image without
converging your eyes
