Depth Perception and Spatial Vision

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision

Depth perception is the ability to perceive objects three-dimensionally. It relies on two types of cues: binocular and monocular. Binocular cues depend on the combination of images from both eyes and how the eyes work together. Since the eyes are in slightly different positions, each eye captures a slightly different image. This disparity between images, known as binocular disparity, helps the brain interpret depth. When the brain compares these images, it determines the distance to an object.

Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Computer-Assisted Surgery
Augmented Reality

Background:

Augmented reality (AR) visualization offers potential for enhancing computer-assisted surgery (CAS).
Accurate calibration of optical see-through head-mounted displays (OST-HMDs) is essential for reliable AR guidance in surgical applications.
Existing calibration methods may not fully address the accuracy requirements for complex surgical tasks.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and evaluate a calibration method for accurate AR visualization using OST-HMDs.
To assess the visualization accuracy in the context of CAS applications.
To investigate the impact of user experience on calibration accuracy.

Main Methods:

An adapted stereo single-point active alignment method was employed for calibration.
Three visualization tests were conducted: 3D space, planar, and skull phantom surface.
Tests involved both inexperienced (5 participants) and experienced (17 participants) users.

Main Results:

Highest accuracy (3.00 mm, std 0.75 mm) was achieved for skull phantom visualization by inexperienced users.
Lowest accuracy (22.95 mm, std 18.04 mm) occurred in 3D space visualization for inexperienced users.
Depth component errors were significant (18.49 mm, std 18.10 mm) for inexperienced users.

Conclusions:

High visualization accuracy (<5 mm in space) is achievable for select users.
Ensuring accuracy for inexperienced users remains a significant challenge.
Visualizing objects on surfaces significantly improves point indication accuracy, supporting AR guidance in manual tasks.
