Abstract
6 observers estimated the magnitude of stereoscopic depth arising from fragmented matrix stereograms. Stereopsis and anomalous contour were reported only when the combined monocular patterns contained corresponding and non-corresponding elements within the inner vertical meridians of the square and circular dot patterns. The findings indicate that lateral form disparity is essential for the stereoscopic effects.
