  2. Depth perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_perception

    Depth sensation is the corresponding term for non-human animals, since although it is known that they can sense the distance of an object, it is not known whether they perceive it in the same way that humans do. [1] Depth perception arises from a variety of depth cues. These are typically classified into binocular cues and monocular cues ...

  3. Population pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_pyramid

    World population pyramid from 1950 to projected in 2100 (UN, World Population Prospects 2017) A population pyramid (age structure diagram) or "age-sex pyramid" is a graphical illustration of the distribution of a population (typically that of a country or region of the world) by age groups and sex; it typically takes the shape of a pyramid when the population is growing. [1]

  4. Forced perspective - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_perspective

    The technique takes advantage of the visual cues humans use to perceive depth such as angular size, aerial perspective, shading, and relative size. In film, photography and art, perceived object distance is manipulated by altering fundamental monocular cues used to discern the depth of an object in the scene such as aerial perspective, blurring ...

  5. Stereoscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy

    Stereoscopy creates the impression of three-dimensional depth from a pair of two-dimensional images. [5] Human vision, including the perception of depth, is a complex process, which only begins with the acquisition of visual information taken in through the eyes; much processing ensues within the brain, as it strives to make sense of the raw information.

  6. Parallel processing (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_processing...

    These hints include relative height, relative size, linear perspective, lights and shadows, and relative motion. [15] Each hint helps to establish small facts about a scene that work together to form a perception of depth. Binocular cues and monocular cues are used constantly and subconsciously to sense depth.

  7. Demographic statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_statistics

    Demographic statistics are measures of the characteristics of, or changes to, a population. Records of births, deaths, marriages, immigration and emigration and a regular census of population provide information that is key to making sound decisions about national policy. [1] [2] A useful summary of such data is the population pyramid. It ...

  8. Chromostereopsis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis

    Blue–red contrast demonstrating depth perception effects 3 Layers of depths "Rivers, Valleys & Mountains". Chromostereopsis is a visual illusion whereby the impression of depth is conveyed in two-dimensional color images, usually of red–blue or red–green colors, but can also be perceived with red–grey or blue–grey images.

  9. Structure from motion (psychophysics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_from_motion...

    The human visual field has an important function: capturing the three-dimensional structures of an object using different kinds of visual cues. [1] SFM is a kind of motion visual cue that uses motion of two-dimensional surfaces to demonstrate three-dimensional objects, [2] and this visual cue works really well even independent of other depth ...
