Seeing Depth
- depth cues: the visual 'clues' that we use to understand depth or distance
- monocular depth cues: information about distance that comes from one eye
- these include superimposition, relative size, texture
gradient, linear perspective and height in the plane
- binocular depth cues: information about distance that needs two eyes, such as stereopsis
- Size Constancy
- we perceive an object as the same size even when its
distance from us changes
- when an object is close our brain scales it
down in size so that it looks normal rather
than giant
- when an object is far away it is scaled up so that it looks
like its normal size rather than tiny
