A new kind of stereoscopic vision

Colin Blakemore
- 01 Nov 1970 - 
- Vol. 10, Iss: 11, pp 1181-1199
TLDR
There may, in fact, be binocular neurones with different optimal spatial frequencies in the two eyes, rather than a point-by-point analysis of positional disparity, which may be dependent upon a comparison of the spatial periodicity of the patterns in theTwo eyes.

Retinal ganglion cells that project to the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus in the macaque monkey

TL;DR: Comparing the results with those of comparable investigations on cats and rabbits shows a much clearer segregation of the terminal targets of different classes of ganglion cell in monkeys, the greatest difference being the absence in the monkey of a projection to the geniculate from gamma- and epsilon-like cells.

Depth from edge and intensity based stereo

TL;DR: This paper describes an algorithm for stereo sensing that uses an edge-based line-by-line stereo correlation scheme, and appears to be fast, robust, and parallel implementable.

Shape-adapted smoothing in estimation of 3-D shape cues from affine deformations of local 2-D brightness structure'

TL;DR: A general class of methods for deriving 3-D shape cues from a 2-D image data based on the estimation of locally linearized deformations of brightness patterns, which constitutes a common framework for describing several problems in computer vision.

What is suppressed during binocular rivalry

TL;DR: It was found that a suppressed eye was able to contribute to stereopsis, and it was demonstrated that the predominance of an eye could be influenced by prior adaptation of the other eye, indicating that binocular mechanisms participate in the rivalry process.

Depth perception in disparity gratings

TL;DR: Tilt is perceived from gratings of the same spatial frequency but differing in contrast by 50% or more, and these phenomena are not easy to explain on the basis of disparities at corresponding retinal points, but seem to require more global processing of the whole image.

Receptive fields, binocular interaction and functional architecture in the cat's visual cortex

TL;DR: This method is used to examine receptive fields of a more complex type and to make additional observations on binocular interaction and this approach is necessary in order to understand the behaviour of individual cells, but it fails to deal with the problem of the relationship of one cell to its neighbours.

Receptive fields and functional architecture of monkey striate cortex

TL;DR: The striate cortex was studied in lightly anaesthetized macaque and spider monkeys by recording extracellularly from single units and stimulating the retinas with spots or patterns of light, with response properties very similar to those previously described in the cat.
Journal ArticleDOI

The contrast sensitivity of retinal ganglion cells of the cat.

TL;DR: Spatial summation within cat retinal receptive fields was studied by recording from optic‐tract fibres the responses of ganglion cells to grating patterns whose luminance perpendicular to the bars varied sinusoidally about the mean level.

On the existence of neurones in the human visual system selectively sensitive to the orientation and size of retinal images.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was found that an occipital evoked potential can be elicited in the human by moving a grating pattern without changing the mean light flux entering the eye.

The neural mechanism of binocular depth discrimination

TL;DR: Binocularly driven units were investigated in the cat's primary visual cortex in a bid to understand why cats have good night vision and why cats with poor vision have poor daytime vision.
