The Procedure is the search algorithm of cross correlation. This is slow and non neuronal We left out the epipolar gemoetry here because the eyes are turning when focussing something nearby. Understand epipolar geometry in the eye and the resulting cross correlation. = The algorithm for binocular disparity We take different gabor function which can be expressed in complex numbers $ G_(l r) (x) = (1) / (sqrt(2 pi)sigma) exp((- (x - x_0 )^2 ) / (2 sigma^2 ) ) e ^(i (k x - phi). $ Calculate the convolution $ M_(l r) (x) = G_(l r) (x) * f (x). $ The results from the convolution can be added together and be substracted. This is a bit disorted. Then they are run through the square function. Then we get for the 4 cells $ S_(1) (x) = "Real parts added together" \ S_(3) (x) = "Imaginary parts added together". $ The total result from the cell is $ C_(l r) (x) = M_(l) overline(M_(r)). $ Then the disparity gets calculated as $ D = (C_(l r) ) / (sqrt(C_(l) C_(r) )) = (M_(l) overline(M_(r) )) / (sqrt(M_(l) overline(M_(l)) M_(r) overline(M_(r) ) )) prop exp(i (phi_(l) - phi_(r) )) $ #note[ To check correlation intuitively.\ To correlate two signals mean to shift one signal back and forth relatively to the other and see how much they are the same. ]
