Q

Euclidean Geometry

A

3D world is being projected into retina which is 2D and curved
retina is non euclidian
we need to reconstruct the world as euclidian
how do we take these noneuclidean inputs + reconstruct it

Q

Binocular Summation

A

combo of signals from each eye in ways that make
performance on many tasks better than with either eye alone
2 non euclidian inputs - each diff
lose 1 you can still see
laterally situated: almost see 360 degrees - see huge proportion of world

Q

Binocular Summation

A

visual field for humans - 190 degrees, 100 degree overlap - better chance for predators to find small fast moving objects
2 eyes > 1 eye for threshold for very dim light - lower - increased sensitivity
better visual acuity - vernier acuity
visual search: find it faster with 2 eyes

Q

Stereopsis

A

perception of depth that we use by taking advantage of disparity - stereopsis - stereo vision
stereogram - take advantage of stereopsis
stereoscope: force 1 image to each eye - fool eye into thinking you are seeing the same image
disparity allows emergence of depth

Q

relative size

A

When 2 objects are of equal size, the one that is farther away will take up less of the visual field.
based on experience, they are same size, we assume 1 that takes up most space in the retina is closer

Q

convergence

A

brain receives kinaesthetic info about eye position
How far eyes roll in (close)/out (far) gives info
far away, eyes roll out to be parallel
eyeballs move inward for something close
in both cases - keep same object on same foveal point

29
Q

convergence

A

limit as to how much info it can give you - arm length or less: most parallel that they’re gonna be

30
Q

accommodation

A

lens changes shape to bring light into focus on retina:
•thinner g far
•thicker g close
brain gets info from eye muscles that control accomodation

31
Q

accommodation

A

knows when lens is thinner + thicker
accommodation + convergence coupled
useful within reaching distance, but don’t need 2 eyes for these

32
Q

Binocular disparity

A

examining corresponding points on the retinas.
overlap retinas - identify corresponding points
By fixating the green gummie bear, the image falls on corresponding F points on the retinas
F = fixation + fovea

33
Q

Binocular disparity

A

every time you fixate - imaginary arc that passes through fixation: anything on horopter falls on corresponding points on the retina
Objects not on horopter fall on non-corresponding points on retinas

34
Q

angle of disparity

A

further from horopter, greater angle of disparity

anything on the horopter = same distance from where you are fixated

35
Q

angle of disparity

A

on non corresponding points means they’re not the same distance as you
gives you info about how far from horopter, but not whether its front or behind

36
Q

angle of disparity

A

Objects in front of horopter in crossed disparity
In the right eye unfixated object is to the left of fixated object, vice versa
when fixating red, blue is in front of horopter

37
Q

angle of disparity

A

Objects behind of horopter are in uncrossed disparity
In the right eye unfixated object is to the right of fixated object, vice versa.
how far based on angle of disparity

38
Q

1830s

A

Retinal disparity sufficient to create the perception of depth
3D glasses - filters means you deliver diff images to each eye giving binocular disparity
Wheatstone: invented stereoscope
depth perception given by retinal disparity
taken advantage of knowledge with 3D images, viewmaster

39
Q

how is the correspondence problem solved?

A

Free fusion requires you to decouple accommodation and convergence.
when converged on close objects lens becomes thicker
need to converge eyes + allow lens to become thinner
in either case, have to figure out which bit of image in left eye corresponds to which bit is presented in right eye
by matching up object identity

40
Q

Bela Julesz

A

developed random dot stereograms, which have retinal disparity without pictorial cues.
but produced random dot stereograms which have retinal disparity
matching 2 disparate images is how we perceive depth
even with no features, disparity is enough of a cue

41
Q

Magic Eye (autostereograms)

A

using retinal disparity, but trick is to look through image

roll eyes out - produce slightly diff images - disparate images

42
Q

Binocular depth neurons

A

receive inputs from both eyes; receptive field on one retina is slightly adjacent to corresponding point on other retina
has to be in V1 - that’s where you start getting input from both eyes

43
Q

Binocular depth neurons

A

in a, b, c fixation point is the same

when person is fixated at dot, object slightly in front of horopter produces angle of disparity

44
Q

red neuron:

A

responds best to stimulus closer to and slightly to the right of fixation: fall on receptive field of red neuron - maximum stimulation in front a little to right

45
Q

blue neuron

A

responds best to stimulus further from + slightly to the left of fixation
behind of horopter + a little to the left maximum response from blue neuron

46
Q

disparity tuning curve

A

animal models
stereograms allow you to deliberately control level of disparity in images you are presenting
using diff amounts of disparity - find tuning curve
each binocular disparity neuron has diff preferential disparity level
find optimal disparity

47
Q

Stereo Sue

A

3-5% of ppl are stereo blind - don’t have binocular disparity neurons
can’t use binocular depth cues
strobismus - V1 don’t learn to integrate info from 2 eyes
thought to have sensitive period
she learned stereo vision in her 40s
never too late to learn stereo vision

48
Q

perceiving distance is a big part of perceiving size

A

depth can give us a clue about size
if take up same amount of space in retina - one farther away is bigger
pictorial cues tell us that suv at back is farther away

49
Q

Visual angle

A

angle subtended by an object on the retina
tan (Θ) = size distance
VA - irrespective of visual size: takes into account size + distance of viewing

50
Q

Visual angle

A

really large object can take up small space if really far
small object can take same amount of space but closer
after images diff size on screen + paper

51
Q

Emmert’s Law

A

farther away an afterimage appears, the larger it will seem
size-distance scaling: S = k(R x D)
s - perceived physical size dependent on k as a constant

52
Q

Emmert’s Law

A

how much space on retina (R) x distance (D)
further so it seems large
on paper - perceived size is smaller, same space on retina

53
Q

judgments about depth

A 
if objects same physical size, but take up different amounts of space on the retina, MUST be at different depths
(R) °VA = different 
(S) size = same
(D) depth = ?
S=RxD
SL = 10°x10=100 SR = 5°x20=100
54
Q

judgments about depth

A

hand isn’t changing size, but amount of space taking up on retina diff
taking up less space on retina, same space, but now larger distance

55
Q

judgments about depth

A 
if objects are at diff distances but take up same amount of space on retina, must be diff physical sizes
(R) VA = same
D depth = diff
S size = ?
S -R x D
SR = 10 x 10 = 100
SB = 10 x 20 = 200
if at diff depths, then they can’t be the same size
56
Q

size constancy

A

perception of an object’s size stays relatively constant, even when we view the object from diff distances
retinal space is smaller, but distance is increasing, so same size

57
Q

Holway & Boring (1941)

A

Subjects matched physical size of the test circle sat in a hallway

58
Q

Holway & Boring (1941)

A

each test circle 1 degree of VA, but varied physical size of object
closer, object had to be small, far, big object
they didn’t match VA, but physical size
also considered distance

59
Q

Holway & Boring (1941)

A

unless depth cues were removed, subjects matched visual angle
1. all depth cues available
2. remove binocular depth cues
3. look at peep hole - remove motion depth cues
4. one eye, peep hole, curtains in hallway to remove pictorial depth cues
don’t need binocular to be good at perceiving depth

60
Q

Scaling

A

can also be achieved based on familiar objects for comparison

61
Q

Muller-Lyer Illusion

A

centre line is exactly the same length

62
Q

misapplied size constancy scaling

A

inside corners are receding, outside corners are jutting out
S=RxD
seeing outward facing fin as inside corner
inside facing fin as outside corner

63
Q

misapplied size constancy scaling

A

inward facing fin needs to be about 7% larger for noneuropean, need to be 20% larger for europeans
ppl in european civilizations deal with a lot of buildings
nomadic pops not really have experience, less likely to engage in this effect
can’t explain all of it because noneuropeans aren’t at 0

64
Q

conflicting cues theory

A

2 (conflicting) cues to length:
•line length
•overall length of the figure
also works with similar, but slightly diff versions

65
Q

Ponzo Illusion

A

manipulation of pictorial cues makes it seem as if objects are at different distances
S = R x D

66
Q

Ames Room

A

manipulation of pictorial cues makes it seem as if 2 people are at the same distance.

67
Q

Moon Illusion

A

moon looks larger when it is near the horizon than when it is overhead.
°VA is constant in the same night, and doesn’t
vary much over the course of a year

68
Q

apparent distance theory

A

assumptions about the shape of sky makes it seem as if the moon is at different distances
flattened bowl effect
assume sky overhead closer to us than sky on horizon
same R diff D, larger D when on the horizon

69
Q

angular size contrast theory

A

sky is huge But the moon is only a small fraction of that… it must be small
appears larger when close to large object
sky makes moon look smaller
