Correspondence problem is a basic in stereoscopic vision, but it still remain unsolved for the Wheatstone-Panum limiting case. By replacing straight lines traditional stimulus configurations with fold that have characteristics of both line and plane, kind fold-line configuration large horizontal scale are created slant effect can therefore be used as index dichoptic fusion. The results show two fold-lines perceived consistently, which provides solid evidence double fusion
