Abstract

A brief tribute to Bela Julesz (1928-2003) is made in words and images. In addition to a conventional stereophotographic portrait, his major contributions to vision research are commemorated by two 'perceptual portraits', which try to capture the spirit of his main accomplishments in stereopsis and the perception of texture.

Keywords: depth perception; perceptual portrait; random-dot stereograms; stereopsis; texture.
