N2 - Julesz constructed stereograms in which surfaces in depth could be seen with two eyes but not with either eye alone. He noted that such enclosed surfaces in depth never occur in natural scenes. In contrast, extended stereoscopic surfaces are a natural feature of binocular vision. Examples of constructed textured surface stereograms are presented as anaglyphs. They satisfy the criterion of revealing depth seen with two eyes which is concealed from each eye alone. A wide range of carrier patterns can be employed to construct complex stereoscopic surfaces. Stereoscopic inclusions can be embedded within modulated surface depths in the same anaglyphs, and conventional stereoscopic images (photographs) can be incorporated within constructed stereograms. Textured surface stereograms offer the possibility of extending the artistic expression of stereoscopy.
