Study Notes
Binocular Cues
- Retinal Disparity: A depth perception cue using the difference between the images received by the two eyes; greater disparity indicates closer objects.
- Convergence: A depth cue based on how much the eyes turn inward to focus on an object; increased convergence signals proximity.
Monocular Cues
- Relative Clarity: Hazy or less distinct objects are perceived as being farther away compared to sharp, clear objects.
- Interposition (Overlap): When one object covers another, the covered object is perceived as being farther away; aids depth perception.
- Texture Gradient: A cue indicating depth through the transition from coarse textures (near) to fine textures (far); distant objects appear smaller and denser.
- Relative Height: Objects located higher in the visual field are perceived as being farther away, influencing depth perception.
- Linear Perspective: The concept that parallel lines appear to converge with distance, enhancing the perception of depth based on the degree of convergence.
- Light and Shadow: Dimming of an object suggests distance; shadows and lighting contribute to depth perception by indicating spatial relationships.
