• Abstract: The geometry of binocular projection is analyzed, with reference to the primate visual system. In particular, the effects of coordinated eye movements on the retinal images are investigated. An appropriate oculomotor parameterization is defined, and is shown to complement the classical version and vergence angles. The midline horopter is identified, and subsequently used to construct the epipolar geometry of the system. It is shown that the Essential matrix can be obtained by combining the epipoles with the projection of the midline horopter. A local model of the scene is adopted, in which depth is measured relative to a plane containing the fixation point. The binocular disparity field is given a symmetric parameterization, in which the unknown scene-depths determine the location of corresponding image-features. The resulting Cyclopean depth-map can be combined with the estimated oculomotor parameters, to produce a local representation of the scene. The recovery of visual direction and depth from retinal images is discussed, with reference to the relevant psychophysical and neurophysiological literature.

  We propose a novel scale-aware framework that only uses monocular images with geometric modeling for depth estimation. Specifically, we first propose a multi-resolution depth fusion strategy to enhance the quality of monocular depth estimation. By coupling scale factors and relative depth estimation, the scale-aware depth of the monocular endoscopic scenes can be estimated.
