METHOD OF DETECTING PERCEPTION OF DEPTH AND VOLUME OF FLAT IMAGE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61B3/00 

FIELD: physics, optics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to optics, neuroscience, medicine, physiology and human ecology and can be used in experimental psychology, in an education system of levels of training, in education quality control, in the field of training education quality control experts and in experimental psychology. A 2D image "I" is used; movements of eye pupils and the position of the eye pupil when looking at "I" are determined; stereo pairs "I^stereo" are constructed; the stereo pairs are converged and fused. First, eye movement on a single image "I1" is determined, said image consisting of patterns having a size on the computer monitor screen which does not exceed 0.2 times of the size of the image on the horizontal I1_hor and the vertical. The vision system is demonstrated for a time Δt, and the difference between horizontal coordinates for the right and left eye ΔX(t) on the image "I1" is calculated. The region of concentration of sight of the right and left eye over the time Δt is recorded. Stereoscopic projections "I1^stereo" with binocular disparity of not more than 0.2×I1_hor are then constructed. Their vision system is demonstrated; sight is concentrated outside the plane of the projections; diplopia is obtained, merged and stereoscopic depth is observed. Horizontal coordinates of the pupil of the right and left eye Δ^stereoX(t) are determined. The region of concentration of right and left eye is determined and the differences in coordinates for the right and left eye ΔX(t) and Δ^stereoX(t) are compared if ΔX(t)≠0. For the right and left eye, images I1 are arranged into horizontal rows with fixed motion paths, as well as stereo pairs with regions of concentrations when observing depth of stereoscopic projections. Eyes are converged, projections of the rows are fused; the depth of perception of eye movement paths is compared at medium projections.

EFFECT: method enables to diagnose creative capabilities of vision and cogitation.
