Study Notes
Monocular Cues
- Perception methods available to individual eyes, allowing depth perception without binocular assistance.
Relative Size
- When two similarly sized objects are compared, the smaller retinal image is perceived as being farther away.
Interposition
- Objects that obstruct our view of others are perceived as nearer, indicating spatial relationships in depth.
Relative Clarity
- Distant objects appear hazy due to atmospheric interference, leading to the perception that clearer objects are closer.
Texture Gradient
- A shift from coarse to fine texture suggests increasing distance; textures become less distinct as distance increases.
Relative Height
- Objects positioned higher in the visual field are perceived as farther away; lower parts are viewed as closer, impacting figure-ground perception.
Relative Motion (Motion Parallax)
- As an observer moves, closer objects seem to move in the opposite direction while distant objects appear to move in the same direction. The speed of apparent movement increases with proximity.
Linear Perspective
- Parallel lines converge with distance; the degree of convergence indicates how far away an object or path is perceived.
Light and Shadow
- Objects closer to the light source appear brighter; in comparisons of similar objects, the one that is dimmer is interpreted as being farther away.
