Abstract

Two algorithms for stereo picture compression were evaluated. According to one algorithm, consistent with the fusion theory of depth perception, the reduction of information in the two pictures was about equal. The other algorithm, consistent with the suppression theory of depth perception, was based on very deep compression of one picture and minimal reduction of information in the second picture. Subjects performed depth decisions and object decisions on the compressed picture. They were able to perform both tasks on the compressed pictures, though performance generally was worse than in the uncompressed control conditions. In both tasks performance was better for an uneven division of information between the two pictures. These results are consistent with the suppression theory of depth perception.
