3 reasons to have depth perception
- detection - discrimination - identification
Why is depth perception difficult
- the world is 3D (our initial visual representation is 2D but somehow we recover the 3D (depth))
How do we see depth?
Cues helps us solve the problem
Types of cues for depth and distance
- monocular- binocular
6 types of static (pictorial) cues
- occlusion - ariel (atmospheric) perspective - linear perspective - texture - shading - size
Closer objects partly block the view of more distant objects
Occlusion
How does occlusion enable us to a perception of depth?
–you see the occluding object as closer than the occluded object).
–also enables us to complete and recognize objects.
Occlusion
–is closely related to other perceptual phenomena such as transparency and illusory contours.

Atmospheric perspective
•Lines that are parallel in the real world appear to converge in a drawing.
Linear perspective
–The greater the distance, the __ the convergence.
