Computational modeling of the primate visual system yields insights of potential relevance to
some of the challenges that computer vision is facing, such as object recognition and …

Incoming sensory information is sent to the brain along modality-specific channels
corresponding to the five senses. Each of these channels further parses the incoming …

Our ability to coordinate the use of our left and right eyes and to make use of subtle
differences between the images received by each eye allows us to perceive stereoscopic …

The extrastriate cortex of primates encompasses a substantial portion of the cerebral cortex
and is devoted to the higher order processing of visual signals and their dispatch to other …

Three-dimensional (3D) shape is important for the visual control of grasping and
manipulation and for object recognition. Although there has been some progress in our …

Stereo vision is an important feature that enables machine vision systems to perceive their
environment in 3D. While machine vision has spawned a variety of software algorithms to …

Most animals have at least some binocular overlap, ie, a region of space that is viewed by
both eyes. This reduces the overall visual field and raises the problem of combining two …

Human perception is remarkably flexible: We experience vivid three-dimensional (3D)
structure under diverse conditions, from the seemingly random magic-eye stereograms to …

Stereoscopic vision relies mainly on relative depth differences between objects rather than
on their absolute distance in depth from where the eyes fixate. However, relative disparities …

Processing of binocular disparity is thought to be widespread throughout cortex, highlighting
its importance for perception and action. Yet the computations and functional roles …
