The Psychophysics of Binocular Vision

This chapter reviews psychophysical research on human stereoscopic processes and their relationship to a 3D-TV system with DIBR. Topics include basic physiology, binocular correspondence and the horopter, stereoacuity and fusion limits, non-corresponding inputs and rivalry, dynamic cues to depth and their interactions with disparity, and development and adaptability of the binocular system.
