Unit 3 - (Visual Perception) - Pictorial Depth Cues Flashcards
Pictorial Depth Cues
Cues from the image we are looking at can indicate the distance of object from the observer
Pictorial Depth Cues (5)
Linear Perspective,
Relative Size,
Interposition,
Texture Gradient,
Height in Visual Field
Linear Perspective
The apparent convergence of lines as they recede into the distance
Relative Size
Objects cast a larger retinal image when closer to the observer than far away
Interposition
When one object obscures the vision of another object, the obscured object is further away
Texture Gradient
Objects closer to the observer are perceived in greater detail than object far away
Height in Visual Field
Objects positioned close to the horizon are perceived as being further away
