title: Influence of the luminance and opponent chromatic channels on stereopsis with random-dot stereograms.
abstract: The present work examines the relationship between random-dot stereograms (via the disparity range parameter) and color-vision mechanisms (via the luminance channel and red-green and tritan directions at isoluminance). The results clearly indicate that the variations in the stereograms along red-green confusion lines contribute to stereopsis. Stereoscopic perception depends on spatial information for stereograms generated with variations along tritan confusion lines. For observers who perceive stereopsis via tritan directions, the results show a gradation in the disparity range, with the disparity range for stereograms generated by luminance variations being greater than for stereograms generated in red-green directions; the latter range is, in turn, greater than for stereograms generated along tritan directions.
