We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
DEFINITIONS OF
Aspect: Either right or left view taken as a whole. Also known as a field.
Composite image: The resultant sensation experienced by a spectator by the proper viewing of disparate images.
Diplopia: The conscious sensation of seeing a single object as double.
Discriminating device: Any contrivance which allows each aspect to reach only the eye for which it is intended.
Disparate images: Two slightly different views of the same subject, one view being intended only for the left eye, the other only for the right.
Fixate: To direct one's eyes upon a point.
Point pairs: Right and left image points on the screen which, when fused by the spectator, appear as a single point in space.
Snellen acuity: A measure of the spectator's
MAJOR TERMS
ability to see the separation between two points close together.
Stereography: The application of stereoscopy to photography.
Stereopsis: Perception of depth by the fusion of disparate images.
Stereoscopic cinematography: Motion-picture photography which allows the spectator to perceive depth.
Vernier acuity: A measure of the spectator's ability to see the offset from a line of a portion of that line.
Vertical divergence: The vertical angle between the optic paths to each eye.
Visual perception: The mental result of the influence of the psychological condition of the spectator upon a visual sensation.
Visual sensation: A primitive mental reaction to a stimulation of the retina by light waves.
