3D Correlation Study Published

United StatesScience

In 1984, Jackson, Jumper, and Ercoline published a quantitative analysis in Applied Optics showing that the Shroud image intensity correlates with the distance between the Shroud and a three-dimensional body shape.

Key Contribution

The study provided a statistical framework for the 3D effect noted in earlier VP-8 image analyzer work, strengthening the empirical case that the image encodes depth-related information.
