Retinal Image size is inversely proportional to what?
distance
A decrease in retinal image size could be
caused by two things:
1) Object size remains constant but distance increases
2) Distance remains unchanged but the object shrinks.
This is the principle that, in vision, the perceived size of an object remains relatively constant, even if it’s retinal image size changes.
size constancy
similar to size constancy. The perceived shape of an object remains relatively constant even if the actual retinal image shape changes, as happens due to changes in viewing angle.
shape constancy (form constancy)
A projected after-image or eidetic image is altered in size in proportion to the distance of the surface on which it is projected.
emmert’s law
Perception of parallel lines or edges converging toward a distant vanishing point at the horizon.
It is based on the principle of size constancy.
linear perspective
distant objects are seen as more densely packed.
Also relates to size principle.
texture gradient
distant object appears less sharper than near object due to scattering of light.
aerial perspective (clarity)
the shadow of an object is interpreted as falling behind the object.
lighting and shading
the obstruction of the view of a distant object by a closer object.
interposition
more accommodation innervation needed for viewing nearer object
• A very weak cue
non-pictorial cue: accommodation
when an observer view a scene while moving, the relative position of objects change, depending on their locations relative to the fixation point .
motion parallax
Objects nearer than fixation causes what type of movement?
against
Objects beyond fixation causes what type of movement?
with
The relative distance of the object from the fixation point can be judged by the velocity of the motion.
The velocity is proportional to the separation of the object from the fixation point.
motion parallax
Can be used to determine whether an ocular opacity, seen during direct ophthalmoscopy, is located in front of or behind the pupil.
motion parallax
Fixate on iris and move slightly from side to side:
– Opacity in front of pupil shows what?
against motion
Fixate on iris and move slightly from side to side:
–Opacity behind pupil shows what?
with motion
The flat image of a rotating object acquires a strong perception of three-dimensional depth because of the motion in the image.
Related to motion parallax.
kinetic depth effect
The level of innervation of the two eyes required to fuse an object can be used as what type of cue?
depth cue
Increased convergence demand by BO prism makes the perceived image as what?
appears getting smaller and closer.
Increased divergence demand by BI prism makes the perceived image as what?
getting larger and farther
vectogram experiment is a test for what?
binocular depth cues: convergence
During convergence micropsia, the increased convergence innervation tells the brain that the object is getting closer, while the retinal image size remain unchanged. To maintain size constancy, observer thus perceive the object as getting smaller.
-SILO (small in, large out)
CONVERGENCE MICROPSIA
Convergence micropsia can only be observed during clinical testing condition, not in normal viewing condition. (T/F)
true
“SILO” is used as a feed back cue for clinician to monitor what the patient’s eyes are doing. (T/F)
true
What if observer reports SOLI?
- Just indicate the patient’s perceptual style, not necessarily means abnormal.
- when developing converging system, didn’t do it well. relies on other compensatory mechanisms to give depth cues.
the most robust depth cue.
A perception based mainly on horizontal relative
binocular disparity.
stereopsis
Crossed disparity stimulates stereoscopic _______.
nearness
Uncrossed disparity stimulates stereoscopic _______.
farness
Absolute depth perception tells the observer what?
how far objects are from themselves or other objects.
Relative depth perception tells the observer what?
about the comparison of depth.
