Abstract

The fact that binocular space appears to be curved, treated previously in Section 4.5 and Section 4.6, can be illustrated graphically in terms of spatially-sampling cameras. A spatially-sampling camera is a camera whose image collection device acts like a 2-dimensional array of discrete photocells. Each photocell records a picture element as the average intensity of the light focused upon it by the camera lens. Both the picture element and the photocell itself are called pixels. Television cameras with charge-coupled device (CCD) cathodes fall into this category.
