Abstract

In order to investigate the extent of the local connections subserving contour integration across depth, we measured performance for detecting the continuity of a path of Gabor elements distributed in depth and embedded in a three-dimensional field of random background elements. The results show that performance cannot be explained in terms of monocular performance and that contour information is not limited to single disparity planes. Path detection does indeed involve the integration of information across different, very disparate depth planes. The rules which emerge are in general similar to that already described in the two-dimensional case in as far as orientation and disparity are important. Unlike the two-dimensional case, three-dimensional integration operates over relatively large three-dimensional distances.

Ideal observer for heading judgments.

Several aspects of the viewing situation affect the ability to determine heading from optical flow. These include the amount of depth variation and number of texture elements in the scene, the location and amount of the visual field stimulated, and the position of the focus of expansion within the stimulus. Without a quantification of the discrimination information provided by the stimuli presented to the observer, it is impossible to determine how much of an observed change in performance reflects the properties of neural mechanisms and strategies employed by the observer. To enable a better quantification, we developed an ideal observer for the discrimination of heading from random-dot flow fields. Internal noises of the ideal observer were set by the results of single-dot velocity discrimination experiments. We compared human and ideal observer performance in discriminating headings with different patterns of flow (e.g. radial vs laminar) presented on different parts of the retina. Efficiency--the ratio of ideal and human thresholds--was fairly constant for the various flow patterns and retinal eccentricities. This outcome indicates that most of the variation in human observers' ability to estimate heading from the flow patterns and retinal loci considered here is due to changes in the discrimination information provided by the stimulus after measurement by the visual system. In the discussion, we show how the ideal observer can be used to quantify the spatial distribution of heading discrimination information for any observer translation through any scene represented by dots.

The depiction of distance: a Bartelian analysis.

Work by Bartel has shown that observers make systematic errors when attempting to set a receding row of staves at equal intervals, and make even-more-pronounced errors in the same direction when drawing a similar row; consequently, the factors that contribute to this systematic distortion in spatial representation were examined. The results indicate that the tendency to overestimate nearer distances and underestimate further distances in pictorial space may be enhanced both by increasing the size ratio of the nearest and furthest pictorial elements and by increasing the angle of convergence of represented parallel contours. However, it is clear that size ratio is the more powerful independent variable. The reasons for this discrepancy are discussed and an explanation of the pattern of pictorial distortion, in terms of a compromise between an objective representation of the relative estimated distance of the depicted distances and an inaccurately anticipated optical projection, is proffered.

Binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy using a standard fiberoptic surgical headlight.

Binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy may be performed in the operating room with a fiberoptic surgical headlight and condensing lens, eliminating the need for the indirect ophthalmoscope headpiece. The resultant aerial inverted stereo image has enhanced stereopsis but is otherwise identical to that obtained with the headpiece. Safe power settings for individual headlights can be determined with a photometer by measuring illuminance from a standard indirect ophthalmoscope and comparing this value to the intensities obtained at each voltage setting of the headlight. Illuminance from four different headlights was measured, and settings that yielded light output equivalent to the average indirect ophthalmoscope were designated for each headpiece. The maximum indirect ophthalmoscope illuminance values were averaged and found to be 2.0 watts/m2 (W/m2) for the 20-diopter (D) lens and 1.8 W/m2 for the 30-D lens. All of the headlights could be used at transformer settings that produced light intensities at or below the average maximum indirect ophthalmoscope illuminance. A stereoscopic image was obtained with each of the headlights, with both the 20-D and 30-D lenses. We conclude that standard fiberoptic surgical headlights may be used for stereoscopic fundus examination. The average maximal light intensity of fiberoptic surgical headlights is greater than that of the average indirect ophthalmoscope. However, each fiberoptic headlight can be operated at brightnesses equal to or below that of the maximum intensity of the indirect ophthalmoscope, and therefore, retinal toxicity is unlikely for brief retinal evaluations.
