  2. Depth perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_perception

    Depth perception is the ability to perceive distance to objects in the world using the visual system and visual perception. It is a major factor in perceiving the world in three dimensions . Depth sensation is the corresponding term for non-human animals, since although it is known that they can sense the distance of an object, it is not known ...

  3. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    Refractive errors can mostly be corrected by optical means (such as eyeglasses, ... i.e. depth perception by binocular vision (colloquially: "3D vision").

  4. Autostereogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostereogram

    The two non-repeating lines can be used to verify correct wall-eyed viewing. ... "Binocular depth perception without familiarity cues". Science, 145:356–363.

  5. Underwater vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_vision

    Both relative and absolute depth perception are reduced underwater. Loss of contrast results in overestimation, and magnification effects account for underestimation at short range. [1] Divers can to a large extent adapt to these effects over time and with practice. [1]

  6. Binocular disparity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_disparity

    Knowledge of disparity can be used in further extraction of information from stereo images. One case that disparity is most useful is for depth/distance calculation. Disparity and distance from the cameras are inversely related. As the distance from the cameras increases, the disparity decreases. This allows for depth perception in stereo images.

  7. Stereoblindness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoblindness

    Stereoblindness (also stereo blindness) is the inability to see in 3D using stereopsis, or stereo vision, resulting in an inability to perceive stereoscopic depth by combining and comparing images from the two eyes. Individuals with only one functioning eye have this condition by definition since the visual input of the second eye does not exist.

  8. Stereoscopic acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopic_acuity

    A good procedure is a chart, analogous to the familiar Snellen visual acuity chart, in which one letter in each row differs in depth (front or behind) sequentially increasing in difficulty. For children the fly test is ideal: the image of a fly is transilluminated by polarized light; wearing polarizing glasses the wing appears at a different ...

  9. Optics and vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_and_vision

    Visual perception is the ability to interpret information and surroundings from visible light reaching the eye. The resulting perception is also known as eyesight , sight or vision . The various physiological components involved in vision are referred to collectively as the visual system , and are the focus of much research in psychology ...
