Primate stereo vision effectively cross-correlates the luminance patterns between the two eyes. In this paper, Nityananda et al. show that mantis stereopsis, by contrast, is unaffected by disrupting the interocular correlation of luminance. Instead, it relies on detecting luminance change at positions corresponding to appropriate disparities.
