Abstract
For humans, the most reliable sources of depth information come from vision. The ability to judge relative depth binocularly is called stereopsis. Binocular neurons in the visual system perform two of the operations necessary for stereopsis; feature matching and disparity computation [Poggio & Fischer 1977, Ferster 1981]. Julesz [Julesz 1960] showed by means of random-dot stereograms that binocular disparity is a sufficient cue for stereoscopic depth perception. The matching operation, though performed so well by the human visual system, raises a major problem in computer vision. In this paper we develop a model of binocular vision, which uses both binocular cues and monocular cues in stereo matching.
