Chapter 2 - Depth Cues Flashcards
What’s size constancy?
When we perceive an object as the same size even when it’s distance from us changes
What are the five monocular depth cues?
Superimposition Relative Size Texture Gradient Linear Perspective Height In The Plane
What’s relative size?
When smaller objects are seen as further away
What’s texture gradient?
A detailed pattern is seen as to be nearer
What’s height in the plane?
Objects closer to the horizon are seen as further away
What’s superimposition?
A partly hidden object must be further away than the object covering it
What’s linear perspective?
Parallel lines appear to converge in the distance
Is stereopsis monocular or binocular depth cue?
Binocular
What’s stereopsis?
The greater the difference between the right and left eye the closer the viewer is looking
