Document Summary

Monocular, muscular, binocular: monocular cue (pictoral depth cue) Looking at realistic painting : easy to perceive spatial relationship among the item portrayed. Vision=light reflected off an object- on to the observer"s eye. Other depth cues- light interacting with objects+ geometry a) b) c) d) interposition: a nearer object blocks the view of a more distant one. Cant tell how far away a is from b retina image size: object moves further away- begins to diminish. *perceiving relative distance linear perspective: feeling of depth. Vanishing point 3d, linear converger objects become more distant (railroad tracks) texture gradient: any collection of objects in the visual image and the gradient is the change in relative size and conpactness. The more distant parts of a texture have smaller elements that are more densely packed together: height in the plane/ relative height: an object is relative to the horizon line.
