4.11. Stereoscopy

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is stereoscopy?

   Hint

   Think about how our eyes function.

2. 2.

   What is a stereo-pair?

   Hint

   Remember, they create a 3D effect.

3. 3.

   What principle does stereoscopy rely on?

   • Parallax
   • Refraction
   • Reflection

   Hint

   Think about how two viewpoints create a 3D effect.

4. 4.

   True or False: A minimum of 50% overlap in stereo-pairs is sufficient for depth perception.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the concept of proper alignment for clarity.

5. 5.

   A camera captures two stereoscopic images with a degree of overlap of 70%. If the height of an object represented in both images is estimated to be 120 meters, determine the vertical exaggeration if the base-to-height ratio is 1.0.

   Hint

   Think about the relationship between base height and perceived height.

6. 6.

   While using a mirror stereoscope, you realize that the entire overlap area is not visible at once due to misalignment. Discuss how you would recalibrate the stereoscope to achieve optimal viewing conditions and ensure the best depth perception.

   Hint

   Focus on the spatial arrangement of images in the stereoscope.
