Toward the solution of the vertical exaggeration enigma in stereo vision
Abstract
The vertical exaggeration produced in stereoscopic vision has been the subject of numerous investigations, mainly based on optical geometry, which have given rise to several theories and mathematical formulations of questioned scientific validity. Consequently, the problem of measuring vertical exaggeration continues being an enigma. In the authors’ opinion, the theme of stereoscopic vision should be approached, not only from a strict geometric point of view, but also as a psychophysical phenomenon ruled by the Fechner’s law. The connection of the stereoscopic effect with psychophysics is evidenced by observing some geometric drawings under stereoscope. The authors consider that this new approach offers possibilities for a reliable mathematical formulation of the stereoscopic phenomenon, and the consequent solution of the vertical exaggeration enigma.
