Visual Processing Flashcards
What are general problems for the visual system?
Trying to figure out where and what things are
The basic law of linear perspective explains that:
The actual size of object is proportional to the distance between its base and the horizon
Texture gradient, which gives us a clue of depth involves groups of objects:
Appearing denser with less detail as they move farther away
You are travelling on a train. When you look out of the window, you notice the parallax depth cue. This is when distant objects seem to move in the:
Opposite direction as you but more slowly than closer objects
The Gestalt Law of Proximity states:
Objects or shapes that are close to one another appear to form groups
The Gestalt Law of Continuation states:
The eye follows lines, curves, or a sequence of shapes in order to determine a relationship between elements
Using internal processes such as deduction, inference, expectation and knowledge is known as:
Top-down processing
According to Biederman, the most important features of an object in terms of identification are those that:
Join different sections of the object
Binocular disparity is only informative when:
Stimuli are relatively close to you
An Ames Room is:
A distorted room that creates an optical illusion
