Depth Perception

Monoscopic Image Depth Cues

1. Light (Shading) and Shadows
2. Relative dimensions (and their cognition)
3. Occlusions / Interposition
4. Texture Gradient of a Surface
5. Atmospheric effects : Visibility Variation
6. Linear Perspective
7. Height in Visual Field
8. Brightness

Motion depth cues : Parallax

Stereoscopic image depth cue (Binocular Vision)

Physiological depth cue

• Accommodation (ciliary muscles, focus)

• Convergence (orbital muscle) (Binocular Vision)
