Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Linear perspective refers to the fact that parallel lines appear to converge as they recede into the distance. In this case, the runway is a series of parallel lines, and as they get further away from the pilot, they appear to converge to a single point. This is a monocular depth cue because the depth perception is achieved using only one eye. Texture gradient refers to the fact that objects further away appear smaller and less detailed, while interposition refers to the fact that closer objects may partially obscure more distant objects. Retinal disparity requires input from both eyes to perceive depth.
