Big Question: How do we perceive depth?

Thinking and discussion questions:

How can we perceive a 3D image


when our eyes only see in 2D?

How do we know that some


objects are further away than
others?

How can we navigate our way


around objects – to keep us safe?

Judging depth
The image our eyes receive is 2 dimensional but we
live in a 3 dimensional world so judging depth is
important to navigate our surroundings and stay
safe.
We do this by using key

There are two types of

Today - Monocular
Depth Cues
Monocular depth cues are ways of judging
distance with just one eye.

A good example of how these are used is


when looking at a picture or a photograph. We
can understand the depth, even though it is a
2D image

Define what is meant by monocular depth cues (4)


Activity 1: Below are four types of depth cues, match
the key term with the definition

Occlusion Smaller objects are perceived to be


further away than larger ones.
Linear An object that is partially hidden is further
perspectiv away than the object covering it.

Relative Objects closer to the horizon are
size perceived to be further away than those
below the horizon.
Height in Parallel lines appear to converge in the
the plane distance.

To recognise different monocular depth cues in action (7)
Height in plane

One object is
higher up than the
other

Objects closer to
the horizon are
perceived to be
further away
than those
below the
horizon.
Relative size

The closer object


appears larger yet
we sense the one
further away would
be a similar size

Smaller objects
are perceived to
be further away
than larger ones.
Occlusion
The shapes
behind are
being obscured.
(They are
behind other
objects so we
assume they
are further
away)
An object that is
partially hidden is
further away than
the object
covering it.
Linear perspective

The parallel line


appear to be
getting closer
together towards
the vanishing point

Parallel lines
appear to
converge in the
distance.

Linear perspective- Lines are parallel but in the distance they appear to be coming to a particular
point. This point is known as the vanishing point as if we were to meet it the lines would vanish.
