Depth Cues
  1. Monocular Depth
    1. Binocular depth cues are cues to distance that need both eyes. Sometimes two eyes are important for seeing depth.
      1. An example of monocular depth is stereopsis.
      2. Stereopsis: The greater the difference between the view seen by the left eye and the right eye, the closer the viewer is looking.
        1. The brain can compare the information from left to right eye. When we are looking at something far away, the two images look very similar. When out eyes are focused nearer to us, the views of the left and right eye are more different.
      3. Binocular Depth
        1. Superimposition
          1. Superimposition is when the position of one object puts it in front of another. It tells us that the thing you can see must be nearer than the partially hidden object.
          2. Relative Size
            1. Relative size is where objects that make bigger images on the retina are perceived as being closer than the ones making smaller images.
              1. Relative size also indicates depth in photographs and drawings.
            2. Texture Gradient
              1. Texture gradient is an area with a detail pattern is perceived to be nearer than one with less detail.
                1. Close up, a textured surface is very detailed. From further away, the texture is less clear.
              2. Linear Perspective
                1. Linear perspective is when lines that are parallel appear to converge in the distance. The 'lines' themselves do not have to be actual lines.
                  1. The 'lines' themselves do no t need to be actual lines.
                2. Height in the Plane
                  1. Height in the plane is where objects closer to the horizon are perceived to be more distant than ones above or below the horizon.
                  2. Monocular depth cues are clues to distance that only need one eye. If you close one eye and look around, it is still obvious which things are closer and which things are further.
