Binocular vision and stereopsis across the animal kingdom
JCA Read - Annual Review of Vision Science, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Most animals have at least some binocular overlap, ie, a region of space that is viewed by
both eyes. This reduces the overall visual field and raises the problem of combining two …
