We examined whether the thresholds of motion and depth perception produced by motion parallax could be specified by the concept of a disparity gradient. We manipulated both the motion parallax amplitude and the angular separation of two dots and calculated the percentages of trials in which participants perceived motion or depth. The results showed that the amplitude of motion parallax for the threshold increased as the separation became larger with the gradients of 0.023, 0.072, and 0.430 for the lower depth, the lower motion, and the upper depth thresholds, respectively. These findings indicate that the gradient is a useful concept to specify the motion and depth thresholds together rather than parallax amplitude alone.

The perspective transformations of the retinal image, produced by either the movement of an observer or the movement of objects in the visual world, were found to produce a reliable, consistent, and unambiguous impression of relative depth in the absence of all other cues to depth and distance. The stimulus displays consisted of computer-generated random-dot patterns that could be transformed by each movement of the observer or the display oscilloscope to simulate the relative movement information produced by a three-dimensional surface. Using a stereoscopic matching task, the second experiment showed that the perceived depth from parallax transformations is in close agreement with the degree of relative image displacement, as well as producing a compelling impression of three-dimensionality not unlike that found with random-dot stereograms.

Two Stages

Motion parallax has been shown to be a principal cue for depth perception under monocular viewing. The simulated depth of stimuli in previous studies has been constant in both magnitude and direction. In the present study we addressed the question how the visual system detects parallactic depth change. To answer this we investigated the temporal characteristics of parallactic depth change and the effect of a motion signal on them. The stimulus consisted of four bands of 15-cycle sinusoidal gratings and parallactic depth was simulated between each band. In experiment 1, we measured the amount of perceived depth change with different frequencies (0.125 to 10 Hz) of simulated depth change and with different velocities (2.5 to 40 cm s−1) of head movements. The result showed the perceived depth change decreased with frequency of depth change, and it increased with head velocity when the frequency was constant. In experiment 2, we measured the motion threshold with different velocities of head movement. The result showed the threshold was constant across different head velocities. In experiment 3, we measured the amount of perceived depth using apparent motion stimuli with the head moving. The result showed depth decreased with SOA of apparent motion stimuli, but there was no effect of different head velocities. The results of these three experiments indicate that parallactic depth change is determined by the duration of simulated depth, which corresponds to the integration time of motion, as well as by the extent of head movement. We conclude that parallactic depth is integrated in two stages: first, integration of motion and, second, integration of motion parallax.
