  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. 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.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Stereopsis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereopsis

    Under normal circumstances, the depth specified by stereopsis agrees with other depth cues, such as motion parallax (when an observer moves while looking at one point in a scene, the fixation point, points nearer and farther than the fixation point appear to move against or with the movement, respectively, at velocities proportional to the ...

  6. 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]

  7. Stereoscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscope

    A typical stereoscope provides each eye with a lens that makes the image seen through it appear larger and more distant and usually also shifts its apparent horizontal position, so that for a person with normal binocular depth perception the edges of the two images seemingly fuse into one "stereo window". In current practice, the images are ...

  8. Binocular neurons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_neurons

    These disparity selective cells, also known as binocular neurons, were again found in the awake behaving macaque monkey in 1985. [5] Additionally, population responses of binocular neurons have been found in human ventral and dorsal pathways using fMRI .

  9. 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 ...
