摘要

Binocular disparity, resulting from the differences between the retinal images of the two eyes, plays a fundamental role in the formation of stereoscopic vision and depth perception [1].Generally, a greater difference (disparity) between the two images indicates that the objects are closer to each other (Fig.1A).The brain uses binocular disparity to extract depth information from the two-dimensional retinal images, and the subtle differences between the images received by each eye allow us to perceive stereoscopic depth, which is important for the visual perception of the three-dimensional space [2].
