Graphical system with enhanced stereopsis
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing stereoscopic images, wherein the method comprises:
- using the computer system, generating the stereoscopic images at a location corresponding to a viewing plane based on data having a discrete spatial resolution, wherein the stereoscopic images include image parallax;
performing dimensional scaling of the data having the discrete spatial resolution based on a size of a display without changing a voxel size in the data;
scaling objects in the stereoscopic images so that depth acuity associated with the image parallax is increased, wherein the scaling is based on the spatial resolution and a viewing geometry associated with the display; and
providing the resulting stereoscopic images to the display.

Abstract
A computer system that provides stereoscopic images is described. During operation, the computer system generates the stereoscopic images at a location corresponding to a viewing plane based on data having a discrete spatial resolution, where the stereoscopic images include image parallax. Then, the computer system scales objects depicted in the stereoscopic images so that depth acuity associated with the image parallax is increased, where the scaling is based on the spatial resolution and a viewing geometry associated with a display. For example, the viewing geometry may include a distance from an individual that views the stereoscopic images on the display and the display. Alternatively, the viewing geometry may include a focal point of the individual. Next, the computer system provides the resulting stereoscopic images to the display. In this way, the computer system may optimize the depth acuity for data having discrete sampling.
