Abstract

A new microcomputer-based stereogram generator was designed and implemented to generate various visual stimuli that are used for testing the binocular vision system. The system is capable of generating static and dynamic stereoscopic stereograms that can be varied in size, shape, speed and disparity. It can also be used to generate a luminous stimulus on a dark background which, except for the depth parameters, can be varied in a similar way to the stereoscopic stimulus. A 16/32-bit microprocessor has been employed for the overall control of the stereogram parameters, which provides flexibility, versatility, compactness and speed at reduced cost. We have applied this system to the measurement of eye movement and computer vision.
