Abstract
RETINAL images made up of equally spaced parallel vertical lines can readily be fused at disparities differing by a multiple of the line spacing, so giving rise to illusions of depth. In steady light, however, a figure of this kind is normally seen as a single surface, even when tilted away from the frontal plane so that the image lines on one retina intersect the corresponding loci to those on the other retina at several different disparities (Fig. 1).
