  • Title: Relative size disparities and the perception of surface slant.
    Author: Kaneko H, Howard IP.
    Journal: Vision Res; 1996 Jul; 36(13):1919-30. PubMed ID: 8759431.
    Abstract:
    Perceived slant produced by size disparities in random-dot displays was measured by tactile matching. For a 60 deg surface, slant produced by vertical-size disparity (the induced effect) was opposite to that produced by horizontal-size disparity. Overall-size disparity produced a little slant. With small displays, effects of horizontal and vertical disparities were reduced but not those of overall disparity. A zero-disparity surround increased effects of horizontal and overall disparities but reduced the induced effect. A mixture of horizontally disparate and zero-disparity dots produced two slanted surfaces. Vertically disparate and zero-disparity dots produced one slanted surface. Abutting opposite horizontal disparities produced surfaces with a sharp boundary. Abutting vertical disparities produced surfaces with a gradual boundary. Perceived slant depends on the difference between horizontal-size disparity detected locally and mean vertical-size disparity over a relatively large area.
