depth perception

interposition

-monocular eyes

-the partial blocking of one object by another object, leaving the viewer with the perspective that the blocking object is closer

linear perspective

-monocular eyes

-parallel lines appear to converse at a vanishing point on the horizon

-greater convergence=greater perceived distance

relative size

-monocular eyes

-if two objects are similar in size, the object that looks the largest will be judged as being the closest to the observer

texture gradient

-monocular eyes

-objects in the foreground have clear, detailed texture

-objects in the distance appear smoother or less detailed

convergence

-binocular eyes

-when two eyes move inward to see near objects and outward to see far away objects

-the more the eyes turn inward, the closer we perceive the object to be

retinal disparity

-binocular vision

-each eye sees a slightly different image because they are about 6cm apart, your brain puts the two images it receives together into a single three-dimensional image
