Document Summary
Distance perception of various objects in environment based on two. Pictorial cues depth information that can be depicted in a two- dimensional picture ex. in a painting or a book dimensional image on retina: ex. N and f = 2 points on retina. Represent points where rays of light have been reflected onto the retina from the tree (n) and the house (f: occlusion signal/cue that one object is in front of another. By one object hiding/partially hidden behind another. Hidden object = far away (ex. the mountains) Doesn"t provide information about objects" absolute distance, If only observing retinal name, no way determined distances for only indicates relative distance between objects points n and f in the environment. If expand to entire retinal image increase information: relative height signal/cue that objects below the horizon and have bases higher in the field are usually seen as being more distant. Still 2 dimensional image but 3-dimensional perception.
