No other book covers this topic so widely and in
such detail. The book will be
of interest to people doing research in space perception, visual
neuroscience, optometry, ophthalmology, visual development, animal vision,
and computational vision.

"Seeing in Depth"
published in 2002, is a sequel to "Binocular Vision and Stereopsis"
by Ian P. Howard and Brian J. Rogers. Published by OUP in 1995.
It is broader in scope and twice the size. It contains 7000 references,
800 figures, and 150 photographs of scientists. We published it privately to keep the cost down.
Extracts from reviews
"... these two truly monumental books on seeing in depth comprise some 1300
pages of wisdom and knowledge, feature 137 portraits of vision scientists,
and discuss many thousands of publications, while covering a few thousand
years of vision research. The first Howard and Rogers book appeared in
1995 under the title ``Binocular vision and stereopsis''. The present
version has doubled in size, is cheaper, and reaches a still higher level
of integration and a broader coverage. The books simply have to be on the
bookshelves or desks of all vision scientists, many neuro-scientists,
ophthalmologists, and psychologists, but they are also useful to
colleagues in AI, robotics, optics, or to stereophotographers."
Wim van de Grind. Helmholtz Research Institute, Utrecht University.
Perception, 2004, Vol. 33, p. 1149-1150.
"Seeing in Depth is a remarkably comprehensive review of the binocular
vision literature, with references to several thousand books and articles
from antiquity up to 2001. Those who work in the area of binocular vision
should consider adding this two-volume set to their personal libraries,
even if they own the 1995 book."
Scott Stevenson, College of Optometry, Houston.
Optometry and Visual Science, 2003, Vol. 80, p. 618.
