Document Summary

The way that contours intersect with each other provides cues to local shape & depth. Cross: + suggests 2 wires lying over each other. Each intersection imposes constraints on organization of adjacent surfaces. Recover 3-d structure by simultaneously solving the constraints. Impossible figures: sometimes a global solution that makes physical sense is not possible. Shading / lighting: surfaces that are facing a light source are brightest. Surfaces facing away from the light are less bright and more shaded. Usually assume light is coming from above. Linear perspective & texture gradients: systematic decrease in size and spacing of more distant elements. Linear perspective: apparent convergence at a distance of physically parallel lines (e. g. , railroad tracks) Texture gradients: refinement of size and spacing of surface elements with distance. Relative image size: 2 objects of the same shape but one is smaller will be judged to be different depths.
