Vision depth

Millions of neuronal fibers carry action potentials from the retina to the visual cortex and subcortical regions. If the eye is damaged at a time when the visual cortex is developing, there will be lasting impairment of vision. Depth perception is chiefly the result of differences in the input from each eye. One eye becomes dominant early in childhood. 

The effect of LSD on perception is sometimes referred to as illusiogen-ic, because, rather than creating a perception of a nonexisting stimulus, LSD produces a distortion of sensory input from the environment (Kulberg 1986). Visual symptoms are most frequently experienced for example, vision may be blurred, and the perception of distance and depth may be changed. Objects in the surroundings may be perceived as unusually intense in color, shape, and/or size. With the eyes closed, geometric and kaleidoscopic patterns are perceived. Synesthesia, by which a sensory stimulus of one modality is transformed into a perception from another sense, is a type of a perceptual distortion typically experienced under the influence of LSD for example, smells... 

I felt myself rising through space. It was even as the Sphere had said. The further we receded from the object we beheld, the larger became the field of vision. My native city, with the interior of every house and every creature therein, lay open to my view in miniature. We mounted higher, and lo, the secrets of the eatth, the depths of mines and inmost caverns of the hills, were bared before me. 

Level - 2 A stands for ALTERED perception. Colors and textures are paid attention to. Appreciation of music may be enhanced. Space may appear of greater or lesser depth than is usual. But visions do not occur at this level. Thinking becomes less logical, and more playful short term memory difficulties are may be noted. 

Because the literature on the effects of psychedelics frequently notes alterations in spatial perception, in size, and in the speed with which time passes, the conditions of no depth, expanded depth, blurred vision, clear and distinct vision, diminished size, enlarged size, fast time, slow time, and stopped time have been selected for inclusion here. Each of the time conditions involves an alteration of time by keying it to a metronome, as well as a verbal alteration of time. Interspersed through all the other conditions are control conditions, in which the subject is hypnotized, but no sugges-... 

Both types of stereo presentation mimic the appearance of objects to our two eyes, which produce images on the retina of objects seen from two slightly different viewpoints. The two images are rotated about a vertical axis located at the current focal point of the eyes. From the difference between the two images, called binocular disparity, we obtain information about the relative depth of objects in our field of view. For viewers with normal vision,two pic-... 

The ability to see three-dimensional depth in two-dimensional pictures is an interesting phenomenon reported for marijuana intoxication 105. The technique my main informant reported is to look at a color picture through a pinhole held right at the eye, so your field of vision includes only the picture, not any other elements, if you are highly intoxicated with marijuana, the picture may suddenly become a three-dimensional scene instead of a flat, two-dimensional one. 

Color processing performs a very important role in computer vision. Many tasks become much simpler if the accurate color of objects is known. Accurate color measurement is required for color-based object recognition. Many objects can be distinguished on the basis of their color. Suppose that we have a yellow book and a red folder. We can distinguish the two easily because one is yellow and the other is red. But color can also be used in other areas of computer vision such as the computation of optical flow or depth from stereo based on color and shading. In this book, we will have an in-depth look at color perception and color processing. 

The computed output color is independent of the illuminant. The retinex theory of color vision was also analyzed in depth by Brainard and Wandell (1992). Brainard and Wandell experimented with color Mondrians consisting of nine colored patches. They found that the retinex algorithm does not correctly predict color appearance when the composition of the Mondrian is varied. The results of Brainard and Wandell could be due to the use of infinite path lengths for the retinex algorithm. The effect of the path length on the retinex algorithm is discussed by (Ciurea and Funt 2004). 

Distortion and intensification of all the senses, especially vision. The shapes of objects may appear to blend together or melt, and colors may appear brighter or changed. Depth perception might also become distorted, and objects might have halos or leave trails when they move. 

Here again, the extent of "seeing" into a body changes with separation. This depth of vision becomes even clearer if we imagine that the layers H sit on another material M, at the position of material A and B.
