What's the difference between horopter and image?

Horopter


Definition:

  • (n.) The line or surface in which are situated all the points which are seen single while the point of sight, or the adjustment of the eyes, remains unchanged.

Example Sentences:

  • (3) Determining the mean of several sets of replications smoothed out the horopter.
  • (4) The depth data suggests that, at least in the near field, the zero value for relative depth lies at the same absolute depth as the stereo horopter (locus of zero stereo disparity).
  • (5) In addition to localized irregularities in the horopter locus, shifts in fixation disparity produced regional distortions of the horopter.
  • (6) For normal subjects with good stereopsis the equidistance (stereoscopic distance matching) horopter shape was altered with the application of lateral prism.

  • (10) The width of these disparity tuning functions varied from 5 arc min for adaptation at the horopter to 20 arc min for adaptation at 20 arc min disparity.
  • (11) However, the mean standard error of the means of several replications produced a more nearly smooth horopter locus.
  • (12) There is a gradual increase in stereo-threshold as the targets are moved out along the horopter, away from the fixation point into the peripheral visual field.
  • (13) Relative depth discrimination is, then, operative over a very wide band of visual space around the horopter (about 3 deg of absolute disparity in the centre of the visual field and even more in the periphery).5.
  • (14) The horopter (the locus of targets that appear to be fused binocularly) is the region of maximum stereoacuity and this does not necessarily coincide with the Vieth-Müller circle (the locus of zero geometric or absolute disparity).
  • (15) We have undertaken a determination of the vertical horopter in two species by simultaneously mapping the receptive field positions of binocular cortical neurons at various elevations along the zero azimuthal meridians.
  • (16) Several up-down illusions involving apparent distance may well be due to these disparities, including (a) backward tilt of the apparent vertical and of the vertical horopter, (b) the 'soup-bowl sky' illusion, and (c) the 'diverging sunbeams' illusion.
  • (17) Plotting the mean and standard error of the means of these seven sets of data produced a smoothing out of the horopter locus.
  • (18) Since the two eyes' zero meridians define physiologically the positions of corresponding retinal points, this out-torsion results in a vertical horopter in the mid-sagittal plane which is tilted away from the alert, unparalyzed cat.
  • (19) Such low-frequency, inter-fixational variation in torsional difference between the eyes must produce spurious horizontal disparities in the upper and lower visual fields, and should thereby limit the precision with which the vertical horopter can be evaluated.
  • (20) The results produced a refined horopter locus and suggested that the so-called Vieth-Mueller circle is an adequate describer of the empirical longitudinal horopter, except in those cases involving uncorrected aniseikonia.

Image


Definition:

  • (n.) An imitation, representation, or similitude of any person, thing, or act, sculptured, drawn, painted, or otherwise made perceptible to the sight; a visible presentation; a copy; a likeness; an effigy; a picture; a semblance.
  • (n.) Hence: The likeness of anything to which worship is paid; an idol.
  • (n.) Show; appearance; cast.
  • (n.) A representation of anything to the mind; a picture drawn by the fancy; a conception; an idea.
  • (n.) A picture, example, or illustration, often taken from sensible objects, and used to illustrate a subject; usually, an extended metaphor.
  • (n.) The figure or picture of any object formed at the focus of a lens or mirror, by rays of light from the several points of the object symmetrically refracted or reflected to corresponding points in such focus; this may be received on a screen, a photographic plate, or the retina of the eye, and viewed directly by the eye, or with an eyeglass, as in the telescope and microscope; the likeness of an object formed by reflection; as, to see one's image in a mirror.
  • (v. t.) To represent or form an image of; as, the still lake imaged the shore; the mirror imaged her figure.
  • (v. t.) To represent to the mental vision; to form a likeness of by the fancy or recollection; to imagine.
