Overview
This work is the first ever to survey known properties of the human binocular vision system, analyze stereoscopic viewing systems without approximations, predict previously overlooked depth distortions, and derive camera configurations which eliminate these distortions to provide true-to-scale 3-D television images. Professionals in biomedical engineering, optical engineering, computer graphics, robotics, and the entertainment industry will be provided with an invaluable tool to improve the optical devices of their respective fields.

Compiles information about viewing systems that combine electronic and optical elements with the vision of a human operator to allow depth perception. Among the topics are the stereoscopic properties of the human vision system, three- dimensional imaging methods, systems using single and double cameras, reducing depth distortion, and the process of setting up a system. Developed from a January 1991 Jet Propulsion Laboratory report (JPL D-8186). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
