Abstract

We proposed a glasses-free randot stereotest using a multiview display system. We designed a four-view parallax barrier system and proposed the use of a random-dot multigram as a set of view images for the glasses-free randot stereotest. The glasses-free randot stereotest can be used to verify the effect of glasses in a stereopsis experience. Furthermore, the proposed system is convertible between two-view and four-view structures so that the motion parallax effect could be verified within the system. We discussed the design principles and the method used to generate images in detail and implemented a glasses-free randot stereotest system with a liquid crystal display panel and a customized parallax barrier. We also developed graphical user interfaces and a method for their calibration for practical usage. We performed experiments with five adult subjects with normal vision. The experimental results show that the proposed system provides a stereopsis experience to the subjects and is consistent with the glasses-type randot stereotest and the Frisby–Davis test. The implemented system is free from monocular cues and provides binocular disparity only. The crosstalk of the system is about 6.42% for four-view and 4.17% for two-view, the time required for one measurement is less than 20 s, and the minimum angular disparity that the system can provide is about 23 arc sec.

Highlights

  • Stereoacuity is defined as the smallest horizontal disparity required to provoke a perception of depth or stereopsis.[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] Figure 1 shows the geometry of the angular disparity in an object space.[1]

  • The subjective test shows that the concordance between the conventional randot stereotest and the proposed randot stereotest using a glasses-type 3-D display system increases with the AC conflict reduction method.[5]

Summary

Introduction

Stereoacuity is defined as the smallest horizontal disparity required to provoke a perception of depth or stereopsis.[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] Figure 1 shows the geometry of the angular disparity in an object space.[1] When object A and object B are located at different distances, the convergence angles between the two eyes induced by the binocular disparity become different. The difference between the two convergence angles α and β is defined as angular disparity η. Stereoacuity is expressed as the smallest angular disparity η that a patient can discriminate.
