Unit 4 - Perceptual Organization

Retinal disparity

________- the brain computes distance by comparing the images from both retinas (greater the difference= closer the object)

Relative motion

________- as we move, objects that are stationary appear to move; closer the object= faster it moves.

Interposition

________- nearby objects partially obstruct the view of more distant objects.

Monocular Cues

________- depth cues that need only one eye.

Binocular Cues

________- depth cues that need two eyes.

Linear perspective

________- parallel lines appear to converge at some point in the distance.

Binocular Cues

depth cues that need two eyes

retinal disparity

the brain computes distance by comparing the images from both retinas (greater the difference = closer the object)

Monocular Cues

depth cues that need only one eye

relative height

higher the object = farther away

relative size

smaller the size = farther away

interposition

nearby objects partially obstruct the view of more distant objects

linear perspective

parallel lines appear to converge at some point in the distance

relative motion

as we move, objects that are stationary appear to move; closer the object = faster it moves

light and shadow

given two identical objects, the dimmer one appears to be farther away
