Effect of Color Difference between Stereo Pair Images on Depth Perception from Binocular Disparity

Abstract

We focused on the binocular color difference of an anaglyph image. The effect of color difference between stereo pair images on depth perception from binocular disparity was investigated. A Wheatstone mirror stereoscope was used to conduct experiments at and above threshold of the depth perception. Two stereograms were used; one was white for both eyes and the other was red for one eye and blue for the other. The results showed that binocular color difference does not modulate the depth perception caused by disparity.
