monocular and binocular cues

DEPTH PERCEPTION

the ability to perceive the world in three dimensions.

MONOCULAR CUES (PICTORIAL DEPTH CUES)

cues for perceiving depth based on one eye.

Interposition

object that is blocked by another object is perceived to be farther away

Linear perspective

tendency for parallel lines to converge and the closer lines are perceived to be farther away

Relative size

when objects that people expect to be of a certain size appear small, they are judged to be farther away

Texture gradient

texture becomes finer and smaller with distance; when you can see less details you perceive it to be farther away

Aerial perspective

objects that are farther away appear hazier; related to the particles in the air

Motion parallax

speed difference of objects that are close move faster and objects that are far move slower

Convergence 

rotation of the eyes to focus on a single object

Binocular disparity

eyes don’t see the same image because of their  distance from each other
